He is a pleasant surprise. I figured maybe 30 points this year. He is a steady presence on the top line still. Although I don't expect him to stay on this pace he has been one of our better players.
When you pick number two, that guy, in order for your team to succeed, should be producing 60-80 points a year and be a driving force of your top 2 lines. He was for 40 games last year and is invisible again. Need more consistency,
Petterson on Vancouver is Rookie of the Month... Mittelstadt is virtually non existent.., when that changes we win more games. Reinhart as the second pick is a bust for where we got him. The ex Blues players are nonexistent as well. We need to get more goal scorers on this team. We don’t score goals still... bottom line. Trade some guys and bring up some of the kids next year and maybe we can contend in 2-3 years.
Eichel is fine. He is ahead of where McKinnon was at this stage. What we need is for at least a second line to show up. We are 26th in scoring. It’s simply unacceptable.
