Much more likely a repeat of Washington, with their group when he was there. He was absolutely terrible and probably should have been in the press box a lot more than he was. In Tampa, he could, and probably should, be a healthy scratch instead of Schenn.
Nah, there were nights where we really needed another puck-mover. Particularly in the playoffs. Less so in the season, obviously, but if management has addressed it as a need, my guess is we use Shattenkirk as a puck-mover on the third pair, mainly, but he could see time on any pairing, really.
He won't get the same playtime in Tampa. He will most likely play <14 minutes and <1:30 PP/TOI with us. He won't be able to put up anywhere near those numbers.
His last decent year was 16 sure injuries have nicked him he has averaged 11 goals a year since 16 and years of 56,23 and 28 points playing 80,46 and 73 games. He is slow and behind the play much of the time now and his PIM's just confirm that averaging mid 40's in pims are in ,line with Hedmans but his output is well below. His TOI for his career is 20.46 and Hedman 22.55.
I think it was more 10 points in last 21 games. Anyway, I expect at least 35 points for him this season. He just didn't fit our roster after we stocked up on D-men and he was the scapegoat in clearing cap. If we would have been able to trade him at 50%, I'm sure any team that got him would have been satisfied with his production at that cost.
TJ is in a (local) car insurance commercial. Big bucks
Coop is also in the local Caddy dealer commercials (although they look like community college production quality). Back up the Brinks truck boys.
The problem isn't his offensive game; it's his atrocious defense. Washington benched him for a reason in the playoffs. I'd like to see you guys well, and frankly Schenn is a much better player at this point in their careers.
He's going to eat up 12-14 minutes per game, maybe a tad more depending on matchups.
He gives us a solid blue line offensive option as a D5-6, and keeps our first 4 healthy. If we limit his minutes and Sergechev barfs the rug he can replace him and gives us an April-May option we did not have with the old farts we had before.
Enjoy.
How is he going to pad is stats playing 10 minutes or less.. Makes zero sense. People are thinking the guy is going to get top 4 minutes that's just not going to happen if he lasts he will pot maybe 5 goals and have 15 to 20 asst's. He wants a cup and would kiss what ever ass he has to, to do it. I do not like the guy and makes me want to puke seeing him on the roster and the same can be said for Shenn.
