Stone and Ferland werent doing much when Calvert was there and Matty led the team by double digit goals his last season there. Name dropping players who became good NHLers later is a bit disinginuous. The 2 of them combined had 56 points when Calvert had 99 which was tied for the team lead.
How is that disingenuous? He PLAYED alongside Schenn. Stone and Ferland were on the team, the point being it was a deep team. It is just a PSA regarding matchups.
Calvert factored in on 30% of the Wheat Kings’ goals playing on the top line on a run and gun team.
Malatesta factored in on 23% of the Remparts’ goals playing on the second line of a much more defensive oriented team.
The points comparison might be more disingenuous because Malatesta played 13 less games than Calvert. A full 68 games for Malatesta projects to be 46G 36A 82P. So sure his assists are fewer but how much of that is attributed to the finishing ability of his linemates?
You look at the Remparts team and there are 3 NHL players (at F), Bolduc, Gaucher, Malatesta.
2 way to interpret this:
Jarmo is a genius
Jarmo sucks because the rest of the roster allows this
We need to see contributions of those players. Would you rather have 4 Bemstroms or 1 Atkinson?
