In my eyes Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson are products of playing with Jeff Carter, neither is worth over $5.5 million per but will obviously demand it.. Both are still one year wonders but have the look of 30G scorers.
Saad is a more consistent player than both while Monahan is just a better player than either rand is worthy of the contract, the question is are both TT and TP worth that much money to the Kings?? Keep in mind DL isn't afraid of trading young guys for establish stars aka the MR and JC deals... Im pretty sure a TT+JM deal could net us a Matt Duchene type talent to help rejuvenate the offense and clear cap space at the same time..
Nope, not according to the stats and WOWY splits.
Tyler Toffoli has spent about 2/3 of his ES minutes with Jeff Carter over his career, but he's nearly the exact same player without Jeff Carter by just about every metric. Pearson a little less so--he's actually better with Kopitar--but some of that is probably attributable to this season when he's emerged and gone nuclear on his own right. Do we want to say Pearson is a product of Carter this season when he has so many primary points even without him? I'm not sure. This goes for everything--CF%, GF%, GF/60, GA/60 you name it.
Not at all one-year wonders, actually have the statistics of legitimate top-line players (not top-six, TOP LINE) around the league.
