Any updates that anyone has on Seguin's rehab and when he may return? Haven't heard much lately.
With the divisions all jumbled up I didn't even realize that he was out. What kind of an injury does he have?
He got hip surgery (I believe) in the off-season so he's still recovering from that
We should also trade for mcdavid .i
based on last few seasons if he is healthy - trade him if you can find a sucker - and Benn as well - Stars are playing kids - may as well write off the season and get rid of the detriments- and if there is a market for an often injured 7 million dollar goalie please look at moving him!
Pssh. He doesn't win when it matters, we need Point and KucherovWe should also trade for mcdavid .

When looking at the four seasons prior to this one where he was healthy, he was 23rd in scoring. I'm not posting this to say you're wrong, but I am more trying to get to the idea that you and a lot of people might be surprised at the persistent downward trend of his production, a downward trend happening all while goal scoring league wide has been climbing up over the past few seasons. Here's how he's finished in total points as a Star.No reason to trade Seguin because of this injury. Prior to it, he had four straight seasons where he played every game. During that time he was top 20 in overall scoring. Even with his down year. He is only 29 when next season comes around. Plenty of years left as a top center.

Yeah, he's only 29 years old, but he hasn't been a point a game player since his age 24 season. Not that point a game is some necessary threshold, but it's also not exactly an exclusive club reserved for the Art Ross contenders like it was a few years ago. Seguin will absolutely be a huge upgrade to the forward group when he comes back, but we probably need to start to lower our expectations about who he will be.
Yes, his point total was good, but finishing with 77 points in 71 games in 14-15 when the league was scoring 2.73 goals per game was actually more impressive than finishing with 80 points in 82 games in 19-20 when league scoring had increased to 3.02 goals per game.18-19 was the second best season of his career points wise and that was in a pretty defensive system under Monty. He was not in decline prior to his injury.

I certainly hope the system is the cause and not the reduced skating speed my eyes worry about.Yeah but that was under Ruffs offensive minded system.
