I NEVER argued that, I supported that Fowler allows Vatanen to enhance those numbers.
Fowlers' absence and Vatanen in his role:
Vatanen: 3 pts in 13 games
SIGNIFICANTLY lower then his 37 pts in 66 games OVERALL totals.
That's a 19 pt pace per season vs a 53 pt pace per season. I understand, sample size, but once again Fowler ALLOWS Vatanen to get the sweetheart matchups. BTW, Ducks scored 35 goals in those 13 games. Yes, it's over their season average, and yes I think 19 points is a low pace for Vats.
