Point is the team can’t go as the stars go when the team is playing poorly but then it’s not true when the team is playing well. Sure the role players did well early but so did at least three of the big four. And saying Bratt has not played well all year with 70 points is…a huge reach
It's a round and round conversation...

"Bratt has not played well all year with 70 points is…a huge reach..."

But you will absolutely not acknowledge that 4 goals in 32 games is a problem...

How the F can the 1or 2 top winger on your team go 40% of the season with 4 goals and it not be a problem?

Cause his quality of play is generating goals for his linemates at a high rate. If that wasn’t the case then you’d have a point. You’d have better luck with this conversation with Timo rather than Bratt.

You’re right about the circular part because you keep moving the goalposts, yes 4 in 32 isn’t exactly ideal but he’s not primarily a sniper and is still getting assists at least, it’s not like he’s been a total net zero when he’s struggling unlike Timo and he’s contributing to goals. You hardwave off assists as if all of them are secondary passes ten seconds before the goal when he gets a ton of primary helpers.

Id rather a 20G 80A guy then a 30G 30A guy
It's not true though...we are in the middle of the conference in scoring. Scoring has been a problem forever.

When you guys were yelling about goaltending I tried to say it was lack of scoring that was the problem. You guys didn't want hear any part of that. This year is kind of proof of that.

We don't hold anyone responsible for the lack of scoring.

So let’s blame one of the few guys who is contributing to scoring then.

He's not scoring goals at all practically.

And here we go in circles. Find a guy that has 70 points and DOESN'T have at least 20 goals ...hint there isn't one... except for ours

?????

Devils were top 5 in scoring on 22-23, top 10 last season
That was the only year of the last 10 nobody complained at all.

Fitz just said on a podcast Dougie is out for the reg season and they hope he can return for round 2 if they make it there.

YIKES. What a turn of events from Christmas until now.

This sucks a whole lot because it’s a huge blow to his potential trade value.

We have 23.4m going to four dmen next season, everyone has to brace themselves for the possibility that Luke’s getting a bridge deal.

If that happens then it’s all the more reason to slag Fitz for jumping the gun on Kovacevic
