Only 3 players on the team had more than 18 goals last year, and you think that DLR could do better in his first season, he who had problems producing in Sweden? Galchenyuk and Eller have more offrensive upside and more experience than DLR and neither reach 15 goals last season...
My belief is given the same opportunities Gio had last year with regards to icetime PP start etc.
DLR could score 15 goals... I watch him and see someone who knows where to be on the ice.
If given time to adjust to NA rinks and NHL speed i have complete faith in his hockey sense taking over.
Is it not reasonable to believe that if you keep playing him with more talented individuals his strengths will come forth? We keep looking for the flashy player but it is far more complex than that.
I should add a disclaimer if he plays with intensity...
