But you aren't acknowledging goals are function of not just ability but prime minutes. Or that there is no stat for missed opportunities.The Wild need players who put the puck on the net. And despite his many whiffs, and pass handcuffs he had this year, the only players that put the puck on net at a rate greater than Pomminville is Zucker and Parise.
When he stops doing that, I'm all for starting to ease him down the lineup.
Pominville only had 3 PP goals, and 11 PP assist. What happens if you give Dumba that spot on the PP? Does he get 10 PP goals and 15 assist?
Fontaine (who I am pretty "eh" on) put up 0.41 5v5 PPG playing on the 3rd and 4th lines. Pominville put up 0.49 5v5 PPG playing on the 1st line with Granlund and Parise. You don't think Fontaine is going to put up 6.5 more points or 4 more goals if he played with those two?
