The_People1 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Pretty much bro. Everyone on that list can get their linemates going whoever they happen to be. One player on that list needs the right linemates in order to get himself going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I don't know, Man... it seems to me that it's unfair to ask a question in earnest, and then radically highlight the correct answer with a slightly larger font, and a underline. Unless, of course, that was a clever deception. An argument could be made that Carey Price shouldn't be on this list. That guy hasn't done anything lately! Love.

conundrumed Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 So everyone is okay with that Karlsson contract tormenting the Sharks for 4 out of 5 years? Huberdeau is <20 games in, so go choke your buzzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sak22 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Well Florida has been lucky they have been able to outscore Bobrovsky's average goaltending for the last 4 years. So I don't think Huberdeau stands alone as someone who doesn't belong on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 What I find funny is people jump on a player making 10, but a goalie in the AHL making 5 is fine? Nurse and Jones at 9+ is okay? We signed a contract after a player had got 100+ points on another team and got him in trade. If we re-signed Gaudreau for this and he had a similar 22/23 season and another poor start, would we trash him? Maybe if we had others that could score it wouldn't look so bad. Every one of those guys on the list have other players that fill the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be surprised if the post was copy pasted from reddit or youtube, you know, where the great hockey minds converge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Absolutely hilarious to me that you highlight a player below someone who is currently not playing the game and then title the thread "which player does not belong" Pretty hard to take anything seriously when that is the case.

It was an old salary table. Nothing against Huberdeau except he is not worth 10M imo compared to other 10M players past or present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it would help if I pissed and moaned about it and ran him down. That tactic prolly works well in.....nope, can't think of anywhere it works.

Could have gone in many other threads and been presented much better, which was the point of my post. Creating a new thread to dump on a player that could have been just been added elsewhere isn't worth it IMO. Almost half of the players on your list are not worth what they are being paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 First of all wingers and goalies don't belong on this list IMO, if you are paying top dollar for these positions you are doing it wrong. Since 2020: Panarin 1.26 pts/gm (272 points) Pastrnak: 1.21 pts/gm (267 points) Marner: 1.26 pts/gm (283 points) Huberdeau: 1.04 pts/game (243 points) Tavares: .97 pts/gm (225 points) Kopitar: .88 pts/gm (208 points) Eichel: .91 pts/gm (129 points) So I would say Price, Bobrovsky, Tavares, Kopitar and Eichel belong on this list less than Huberdeau does.
