Confirmed with Link: Wheeler bought out

[DRW204]

There is no way with players such as scheifele, vilardi, Ehlers, Connor, nino, Perfetti, Iafallo that namestnikov should be sniffing a top 6 fwd spot.

I didn't know where to put this so I'll put it here.

We lost 118 points with PLD and Wheeler leaving.
How do we replace those points?

If Perfetti stays healthy and gets powerplay time, I see him getting around 55 points. That's 25 more point than last year.
Vilardi about 55-60 as well if he plays in the top 6.
That's 80-85 point s so we are short 33-38 points.
Do Iafallo and Kup score 38 more points than the players they are replacing?
As a team, do we score more points?
Vilardi and Iafallo were both scoring at a 50+ points in 82 games last season.

I doubt you can simply use points in points out without factoring in.
-ice time
-situational use ( goes to first point)
-chemistry
-injuries
-career highs or lows
-goaltending
-competition with all the above taken into consideration
