Batherson is really rounding into form. Do Not Trade list
He has been on that list since he signed his deal.
Even with his warts, he was good value. Now, he is a steal. It's a shame we couldn't have done more while we have had him on such a great contract.
He is back to pre-Dell form, but with an improved defensive game.
I have to say, I am very happy to see the Tkachuk Norris line back together. They looked great.

It's so great to see Batherson, Norris and Chabot back to their level, not entirely yet for Chabot and Norris but these guys all deserve injury-free seasons and play up to their potential
It would be so pathetic if we can't achieve any team success though, wasting so many great players prime.

Honorable mention to Stu. More physical this year, plays as a unit and he's the youngest of the 3. Drake started showing improvement under JM, Chabot since paired with Jensen, Stu since new coaching staff. Bodes well for the future.

This. Giroux honestly looks cooked. Still faurly effective because he's smart but he's not moving his feet and behind the play.
No, Stutzle is but he is probably second.

I know stu has more talent and is a wizard, but i still think it's pretty close. Drake feels like he's more consistently making stuff happen. (Slightly, to me).
Drake might be slightly better on the PP. 5v5 it’s definitely Timmy.
Batherson has elevated of late but he’s got way better linemates. I don’t think he could do much with Giroux and Gaudette as linemates.
Not to discredit him at all because he’s incredible. Stützle is just another level.

It was friggin Bath time last night.
Looking forward to seeing him hit 30g and be PPG this year.

He's no Vermette but Batherson is playing with some extra confidence/determination lately. Silky smooth player and throwing the body around too, fans love to see it!

That play where he was in the middle of 4 Penguins and was one-handed, tipping pucks between their legs and single-handedly keeping the puck alive was amazing.
He then chased it into the corner, scaring that Penguin into crashing himself into the boards

Confirmed cheater.
Sometimes he just stands near the net and lets the puck bounce off his skate and in.
Hard to support a player that lacks strong hockey ethics.
