And why is 400 minutes an insufficient sample size?

It takes a lot of time for D partners to gel. If it was 400 consecutive minutes that's a lot different than 400 minutes scattered over 5 seasons.

What can Kyrou do to get off the trade list

Convert scoring chances more consistently and stop making bad turnovers. People will blame bad "puck luck" but at some point you've gotta admit he has issues finishing scoring chances. At least he didn't in this game, which is nice to see.

He leads the team with 9 goals (a 28 goal pace) and has probably hit the crossbar or the post a dozen times. Sure, he’s missed some opportunities, but he’s still the most consistent scorer (and scoring threat) on the team. He’s been snake bit and eventually some of those near misses are going to start going in. He may have dug too big of a hole to get to 40 as I predicted preseason, but I certainly think 35 won’t be a stretch. Pointing to him as someone we need more from is a bit odd - we need more scoring from everyone else not named Holloway or Neighbours.

I mean, this is how I sum Kyrou up as a player. He creates offense through his playmaking, but he's not an elite finisher. He's always been a playmaker first as far as I know. I don't really understand why people expect him to be a 35-40 goal scorer. To me, he's a 30 goal, 40 assist player. I expect him to score a goal every few games, and if he's scoring more than that it shouldn't be the expectation, it should be considered an added bonus. Sure, it would be nice if he were to finish more often and put up 40+ goals, but that's just not what I'm expecting from him.

I'll give you the turnovers, that's something he needs to improve on. I'd just rather him improve that while he's on the Blues instead of another team.
