Tallon in charge the 2015-2016 season, 103 points. Computer boys in charge the 2016-2017, 81 points. Tallon back in charge the 2017-2018 season, 96 points.
And our top 2 scorers in 2015/16 were Jagr with 66 points (27 goals) and Jokinen with 60 points (18 goals), while also getting 62 games of Luongo's superb goaltending. The next year Huberdeau missed almost the entire season, Ekblad and Bjugstad had absolutely awful years due to injuries and in Ekblad's case also losing Campbell/not being sheltered for the first time in his career; Luongo was injured which affected his game - but sure, let's simplify it to Tallon = good, Computer boys = bad.
FWIW I really like this year's group. Tallon has done a great job with Dadonov's contract, getting Boughner, the Demers/McGinn trade, even the Sateri and Haapala signing; there's no more of this mess when nobody knows who's really in charge of what; most importantly, our young core finally took the step forward and took over this team.
Still doesn't change that our expansion draft looked very bad last summer and looks much worse now.
