Scored goals but he’s slow so that’s irrelevant lol

To be fair I do think indirectly him bumping Timo down a line was a reason for his struggles last year though

I mean Toffoli was with Jack-Bratt a lot which was never a spot Timo should've been in to begin with. I think Timo playing hurt a lot of the year was the issue.

Taffoli wasn’t a fit, especially after Jack got injured and wasn’t Jack. He got some goals but didn’t do a lot other things. And when the injuries hit we needed the other things. There is a reason why the guy the second half of his career bouncing around from bad to bad team to be a deadline piece. Understand the trade, but it didn’t work.

With Tatar out we get more Big Mac…and look how good the record is when he plays!(those are mostly unrelated)

We have to be honest here and admit a lot of our fans are pretty harsh on our boys if they aren’t scoring 40+ goals a year.
Problem is the guy we traded for him scored even more lol…guys catch shit when our homegrown guys blossom elsewhere, exhibit A Zetterlund and Timo

He doesn't suck. He's a guy with a great shot that if you cater to him and put him with talent he'll be really good and give you a lot that other players just don't have the talent to. If you don't put him with that talent then he sucks. He's a quirky player.

so he needs talent around him otherwise he is quirky aka sucks. i get palat hasn't been tremendous but it wasn't have one or the other the devils chose to walk away from this guy just like they did with zacha. he doesn't move the needle at all great shot or not. he will have the most unamusing 20 goal season this year
