Always was.So does this make kucherovs last season more impressive than Mackinnons in hindsight
I don't think Stamkos's being there or not really made much of a difference. Stamkos did what every offensive forward would have done in that situation, being an option for Kucherov on the PP, that is.So does this make kucherovs last season more impressive than Mackinnons in hindsight
Kucherov was the stir in Tampa and management correctly identified stamkos as expendable.
Looks like they were right
To be fair. I don’t pay much attention to Tampa or much of the eastern conference. So no. I didn’t know most people you united on that opinion.I thought everyone with knowledge of the situation knew that. Stat nerds and Bolts fans were united in saying that Stamkos was a bad 5v5 player.
The guy has one point and his team is second to last in the standings. I think it's already rough.Year 3 and 4 are going to be rough.
I don't think he looks fully "cooked" to me. He hasn't had great luck so far. He is also being over-used. The team around him isn't meshing. I have seen some "cooked" players recently (Turris, Johansen)... he's not in that category. He should be a solid 30/30 kind of player at this point in his career, with appropriate utilization. Whether that is worth 4x$8M is still debateable. But I don't think it equates to being "cooked".Looks like this guy is cooked.
Well, I'll give him some time, but yeah. Not great. That's a lot of money.
Yes, 5-6 games is a big enough sampleSo does this make kucherovs last season more impressive than Mackinnons in hindsight
And at 8 aav. One less year than Lecavlair's Philly deal i guessOf course he’s cooked lol. He’s 34 lol.
2 years would’ve been reasonable, 4 years was a disaster from the beginning.
A cooked Turris is very different from a cooked Stamkos, though.I don't think he looks fully "cooked" to me. He hasn't had great luck so far. He is also being over-used. The team around him isn't meshing. I have seen some "cooked" players recently (Turris, Johansen)... he's not in that category.
