Toffoli's a good finisher...get him a great set-up guy and he'll be a consistent 30ish goal guy, imo...
Welcome to Montreal Toffoli!!
I think he can score 30 goals with Suzuki or Kotkaniemi!
It really points to something in LA's system not bringing out the best in him.
Most of his career in the Kings was under Darryl Sutter...
He'd be on pace for a 46+ goal pace over 82 games.
Hopefully next year he can continue to score the way he has this year as I think he can hit 40 if he stays healthy.
The Shang Tsung of hockey; sucks the soul right out of it...
Next year will be very interesting to see how he does but especially if you have Caufield there all year as well.
That said what a season he's having, would never have expected him to be one of the top goal scorers in the league. On top of that he also came down with a case of the April blues that Petry, Danault, KK, etc.. had as he had a stretch where he scored a goal in just 2 of 11 games. If not for that he's easily at 30+.
Or when folks were asking if he can only score vs Van? Good times..Remember when he didn't score his first 4-5 games and some folks we worried?
The magic of IQ / anticipation...It's perplexing that at a snails pace he can beat people, so odd!He does have a heck of a shot though,great hands!
Let's hope you're onto something!Here are Toffoli's stats since he was traded from LA. These include the regular season and playoff games for the Canucks and this season's stats.
64GP- 35 Goals, 19 assists= 54 PTS
At this point, what more can you say? The guy is a stud. Him and Slick Nick have some major chemistry right now as well.
Toffoli is on another level on that line and Armia completes it like a glove. Armia plays great hockey whenever paired with Suzy and is dominant forechecking against the boards . I truly hope we resign him this summer instead of Tatar.Many here knew that those 2 would have good chemistry. Which is why I didn't want Anderson with Suzuki at the beginning of the year. TT and Suze are both average speed cerebral players. Their styles just mesh.
