It's amazing how far people go to promote their agenda. To the point of discounting Bergeron's offensive abilities, despite PB having better numbers over the last 5 or so years, and a higher ppg average for his career than DK. It's fine if you (not you specifically, but the collective you) DK to play with quality guys, but doing so at the expense of a player like Bergeron isn't the way to go. Especially since Bergeron has been even more productive than DK.
He’s been more productive because he’s played with Marchand and Pastrnak. DK lost Lucic, Horton, Iggy and Loui.
No one is discounting Bergeron’s offensive abilities, I’m actually saying he’d be easier to play with. He plays a faster game and shoots the puck as much as he passes, he can play with shooters or playmakers. He also has a history of mentoring rookies and making them successful NHL players. I don’t think it’s us discounting Bergeron, but maybe everyone that says he needs to play with Marchand to be successful. I don’t believe that.
You said earlier in this thread DK needs to play with who they have on the team and produce. He does that at 2 points a game with Marchand and Pastrnak and now you want to end that? I don’t understand why, that line was better 5 on 5 with Krejci then it was with Bergeron.
Don’t you want to create lines based on who plays best with who? Let’s see how Bergeron can do with less experienced players. If his production has been so much better the past few years, there shouldn’t be a problem.
