Brass is tied for second in scoring among Senators forwards these playoffs.
Zibanejad was first in scoring among Rangers forwards these playoffs, and has a higher PPG than Brassard.
You have to consider that we didn't add Brassard without losing anything from our roster. I see little evidence that trading Brassard for Zibanejad has resulted in increased playoff success, given that Zibanejad has produced at a higher rate through both the regular season and the playoffs.
Using production as a metric to measure how good Stalberg, Wingels, and Pyatt are is ignorant since they weren't acquired with the intention of being high end producers. They are bottom 6 players/PK specialists.
That is true. Those guys have been good defensively, but not a single goal in a combined 28 games is disappointing nonetheless.
Again, I don't see the argument that those guys have significantly influenced our playoff success. They've been good defensively, but haven't scored at all. They haven't hurt us, but they haven't helped us all that much either.
Burrows is the only player on that list whose lack of production could be considered a disappointment given he was expected to play a big middle 6 type role with the team.
0 goals and 3 points in 28 combined games is disappointing for any Senator not named Neil, Kelly or Borowiecki.
0 goals and 4 points in 14 games for Burrows is extremely disappointing, given that he's already 36 and it's all downhill from here. He's been a complete non-factor through the first 14 games, besides a good chip out of the zone on Pageau's OT winner.
If the Sens win the Cup, it would really be like for Anaheim in 2007, after Bryan Murray built a solid foundation, someone came in to finish the job.
The NHL clearly don't know what they are talking about if they are nominating a GM (another) who can't asset manage to save his life!
Dorion's additions to this 2017 Sens include Brassard, Burrows, Stalberg and Pyatt
Burke's additions to the 2007 Ducks include Selanne, Pronger, Niedermayer and Beauchemin
The situations aren't even remotely comparable. Too bad we didn't have Burke in the organization though. I agree with you there at least.
