Fair enough, thanks the additional info. I won't complain if he posts in that range.as it will clearly help the team.

I won't either.
I mean, it is entirely possible he does below or over that range... more the better

Actually he is just okay on the third line and he is probably playing up a line, really should be on the fourth line. With the ice time he gets a single goal (empty net) a complete lack of offensive prowess I can't see him being here long term, he just doesn't bring enough!

feel free to ignore sipowicz. he hates everyone.
his line with lowry and stafford have been improving. he does look like he's trying to play the 'right' way offensively and I think the numbers will get there (it'll never be more than 3rd line scoring #'s but that's ok). Defensively he's been solid I think - first few games looked like he was playing too defensively, like a C, but he's adapting.

I agree with this assessment. It's probably reasonable to suggest the third line isn't quite performing to what anyone that's a Jet fan suggested but I think the line is requiring time to develop some chemistry. Also reasonable to suggest it's not looking like Burmi's career will merit where he was drafted but he should have a long, decent career in the NHL as a good 3rd line player with commensurate scoring for that level. I like him as a player and think he's a good addition to the Jets (again).

Has he been notably worse offensively than Lowry? I haven't thought so.
I'm cool with Stafford providing the punch on that line.

Three game rolling Corsi differential for Burmi.
It started to tank but it's getting better again. Let's hope it stays near the top for most of the year now.
Individual scoring chances each game.
Looks like in terms of generating chances themselves, Lowry tends to produce the least.

Scoring isn't really a priority for that 3rd line. I mean, the idea isn't "don't you dare score", but Job 1 is clearly "shutdown" - take tough Dzone starts and limit opposition chances.
When that line does get into the offensive zone, they attempt to get a cycle going and grind the other team down. Someone noted a few games ago that they weren't getting the puck to the point much - but I think that's because they've been instructed to keep it deep and just take any opportunities they can down low.

By my eye, Burmi passes his linemates into scoring chances more often than Lowry too.
I haven't tracked that and it is early, but that is what I've seen.

agree with that. A valid knock on him is that he should do it more often, sure, but it's still more than Lowry.

This is an accurate description of Burmi so far this year.
I don't hate everyone so don't ignore me please.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong...
That was a quick and witty response. Empty, but witty.

I just think it's weird, since Lowry is even less offensively gifted but isn't held to the same standard.

Agree.
Unfortunately, that should be more evaluation of scouts and GMs, not the players.

Ridiculous.
If any of PSE get injured, I would hope they move Burmistrov UP to that line.

But I read here the other day ..."Burmistrov is proving a black hole on the offensive side of the game - a reincarnated James Wright."
So, one of these things (Burmistrov) is a lot like the other thing (Lowry) even though the other thing (Lowry) is pretty highly touted.
Silly bias, I guess.

Lowry and Burmi have both wavered around 1.1-1.3 pts/60 typically.
James Wright was a 0.6 pts/60 player over his career... it's not even close to comparable.
