Players Who Are Less Than Their Resumes?

[CokenoPepsi]

As I said, Hossa needed a #1C to be successful while Alfie didn’t.

He wasn’t the same kind of offensive catalyst.

I mean, Alfie wasn't successful in those years.

Hossa was definitely the guy

Hossa was definitely the guy

It was like Hossa 1a, Alfredsson 1b, and Havlat 1c. They were built based on right wing for a couple seasons there.

Hossa was definitely the guy

And was traded for a reason.

Why keep Alfie if he wasn’t the guy?

It’s because he was the guy, and team management and the fans knew it.

Hossa
2002-2003 80 45-35-80 +8
2003-2004 81 36-46-82 +4

Alfredsson
2002-2003 78 27-51-78 +15
2003-2004 77 32-48-80 +12

He scored 4 more points on the 1st line in 6 more games than Alfie did with a rotating cast of centres?

I mean, I'm not seeing this separation you speak of. Clearly Bryan Murray didn't either.

No team trades the guy.
