Except for the fact that McNabb and Forbort never will produce like Muzzin, nor are they in any way, shape, or form expected to be a point producing dman and top pairing dman like Muzzin.
What’s ridiculous is your suggestions of walking away from the likes of Kopitar when their contracts are up. That just defies logic.
Actually, you don't seem to be able to read any facts and data that don't agree with your own personal eye test.
I didn't see anyone compare McNabb or Forbort to Muzzin. What I do remember is you using your personal eye test to tell us all Muzzin was crap when he clearly is a top 4 in the NHL. You just moved on to some new whipping boys, that's all.
Regarding Kopitar, if you actually bothered to read what I post and the links I provided, it was about the decline in production which occurs for almost every forward as they enter their 30's.
I also pointed out how a salary distribution which is very top heavy is not the recipe for success in the NHL. Take a look at Chicago now, but all we will hear from people like yourself is teams have to hand out these kinds of deals. Why, so they can sit in the black hole for 5 years or more?
Yes, I advocated moving Kopitar and getting younger players up front. Why, because every scrap of data out there tells us forwards are at their peak from ages 22-28. Had the Kings done that they could have rebuilt around Doughty and maybe competed for another cup in a few seasons, but they went a different direction choosing to fool themselves with talk of still being cup contenders.
Tell me, you love the eye test, does this team look like it is getting out of the Pacific Division in the playoffs?
