weastern bias
worst team in the league
Toffoli, he exist on this team to give Celebrini a finisher and he has 4 full years under contract so his point totals have no bearing on his future earningsWho are you taking off that top unit for Smith? It's funny when people act like Gushchin's AHL stats entitle him to a job in the top six (he did everything they asked of him!!) but Zetterlund scoring 24 goals in the NHL doesn't entitle him to a spot on the top PP unit.
This is not about what it "deserved", this is about what is in the best interest of our long term development project, Tyler Toffoli will not be on the next great Sharks team, there's a chance Smith will be, he needs the reps
When Celebrini comes back take Granlund and Zetterlund off to run PP2 and have the 3 guys who really, really matter run PP1 in Celebrini, Smith, and Eklund along with Toffoli and Walman as their finisher and point support
