Would love to see games of him from 5 years ago and compare to today. I will say I thought he was OK along the boards once he had the puck, but that often seemed to have resulted in not much. It would be weird to say I hope to see a different Nash when he's 30+ years old, has scored 40 goals in this league and has played in what has seemed like forever. He may be what he may be. Maybe just need to hope he plays 75+ games, scored 35+ goals and helps this team to the playoffs.

And that's very much the exception and not the rule compared to the rest of his career.
wowzah Dubi at 5.85 for 6 yrs ..........seems like alot. He makes close to what Nash does now.
People keep forgetting MSL and the fact we only had him one month last year. Hopefully he will make up for at least half that if not more.

There's a perception bias at play here. The extra goals caused by Klein's poor possession play aren't going to look like his fault. He's not going to look like your fabled headless chicken. You're just going to see him constantly stuck in his own zone and inevitably more goals against will come as a result (as well as less offense because your opponent has the puck more). A better possession player prone to the occasional brainfart on the other hand will stick out in your head as unreliable. Your brain takes note because you see the big red **** up and form an opinion based on that. So Klein's play can make you feel safer while actually leading to more goals against.
very well put. I've always said you can die by a thousand duck bites, but each is so small that you do not realize they're killing you. The other part about hockey is there is momentum from shift to shift. If you spend two minutes in a zone, but do not score, that momentum carries, very often to the next shift. Perhaps the "culprit" gets off the ice, his partner gets the minus on the next goal because it's a long change and he couldn't get off. So much goes into it (which is sometimes why the stats are hard to rely upon, but at the same time, over a period of time if they're painting a consistent picture, they're hard to ignore; especially statistically relevant stats (redundant?)).
He would be a good pick up for Pouliot's replacement.
Right-handed shot. Maybe Vigneault and Arniel could plug him on the Power Play, have that extra right-handed shot.
