Hes much better but suppport around him also allows him to be better.Sure. But he’s levelled up. He’s a much better player than he was.
The upgrade in linemates is the biggest reason why he's levelled up. You're not scoring a PPG pace playing with RHP and Ylonen. That's what I've been telling you for years and you keep ignoring it.Sure. But he’s levelled up. He’s a much better player than he was.
Xhekaj’s also still young and a late bloomer who needs some coaching and playing time. Big guys can take time, especially on D. He won’t necessarily get much better, but it’s too early to give up.He's a bottom 2 d-man. If you think most bottom 2 of the league are that far superior, you are mistaken.
Id say the biggest upgrade is Hutson. The defense was non-existant offensively.The upgrade in linemates is the biggest reason why he's levelled up. You're not scoring a PPG pace playing with RHP and Ylonen. That's what I've been telling you for years and you keep ignoring it.
He wasn’t producing consistently even when CC was scoring. He’s a better player. It’s not just linemates.The upgrade in linemates is the biggest reason why he's levelled up.

Secon' Haf Slaf!Feeling cute...may post a Slaf unicorn thread on the mains later. IDK.
Thank God Hutson fell to us.
Habs had to game the system. 2022 didn't have a franchise player at 1st OA so they needed to get two players of equal value
Without him our rebuild wouldn't be anywhere near where it is now.
Andy HAS to score there
Hutson and Suzuki are neck-in-neck for our MVP. It goes to Suzuki, obviously, but Hutson's been a massssssssssive factor.Id say the biggest upgrade is Hutson. The defense was non-existant offensively.
Reinbacher is basically Savard but with great skating.The skating difference between Reinbacher and Savard will be funny to see
Hutson and 2nd half Slaf are excellent linemates.He wasn’t producing consistently even when CC was scoring. He’s a better player. It’s not just linemates.
Look at last season, first half he played at his usual pace - second half he lit it up. Same linemates. He just turned it on.

Sure. Nobody disputes that. But his play is much better than it was.Hes much better but suppport around him also allows him to be better.
No crow to be eaten. He’s leveled up.Just eat your crow, it’s easier, trust me.
Tortorella has become a parody of himself, feuding with and benching his best players. Michkov has been way better since he got dumped.I doubt Torterella had any effect on him.
