Just want to share that after the discourse about us having lost the Toffoli-Sharangovich trade when Rango was red hot, he has 2 assists and is a -6 in his last 9 games ( today included so far) while Toffoli has 8 goals in his last 10 games. Toffoli has 4 more goals and 1 more point than Rango in two less games played.
Streaky players gonna streak!
Both are streaky. Scorers are streaky. You know... Meier?
Its little bit strange from team building perspective now. Meier blocked by Bratt(who is awesome and should play where he feels comfort to), Toffoli(who is scoring and doesnt play well all around on the left side) and Mercer(who is good enough to play top-9 role, but cant play on the left and in center). Meier is adequate on the left side, he is "LH", so Devils decided to use their 8.8 mil player on the position where he mostly didnt play in NHL and was very productive on the right wing.
Im ok to sign Toffoli, but I would prefer to find better left winger for the next year and use Bratt, Meier, Mercer and Holtz as right wingers. For now our top-6 wingers are Palat and Haula. Our 3rd line winger is Meier. Its... not very smart management in maximizing our players and their potential.
