Yeeesh.

They're getting fans used to the cluttered look so they can add more jersey ads in the near future.

Ugh I don't hate there being an ad but if you are gonna have one on the chest then the 50 year needs to be on a shoulder or arm or something. That looks super cluttered.

JERSEY ADS SUCK AND CHRIS ILLITCH IS A SLIMEBALL

How does Mantha get 3.5 with 44 pts in 14 ish minutes, while Sprong gets only 975,000 with 43 pts in 12 ish minutes? They both give about the same shit in the defensive zone. Weird to me that Mantha still has that value. Sprong also outscored him the year prior with similar ice times as last season.

A very well done summary of why Sprong is not able to secure a long term agreement and is a bottom line player even with high offensive production.

That is a great breakdown.

And man I knew Sprong wasn't great defensively, but in those clips he's playing defense like he's in the All Star game.

This is exactly the same as Mantha in his own end or anywhere else he doesn't have the puck. The only time Mantha competes hard is the one in 50 games someone pisses him off and he actually shows the skill he has. The rest of the time he is exactly the same player as Sprong with the exception that Mantha is 6'4" which is a moot point anyways as he doesn't play 6'4", 95% of the time.

Also, this isn't why Sprong gets so little, it is why would anyone want Mantha for 4 times the amount of a similar player? Both players also enter the dog house about the same amount.

Ouch. That's borderline uncalled for.

Did the All Star game kick your dog or something?
