Has he played on his offside his entire career? Because his numbers this year are only slightly worse than the rest of his career. I'm not entirely basing my statement of him being a bad player off of this year where the team as a whole was off. I am aware that playing your off side will have a negative effect, but the fact is nothing in his career is pointing to this season being an anomaly.
So lets judge a player based on what he did elsewhere and not on the team. That makes sense. I'm sure Gudbranson is horrible in your mind too. I mean that was going to be a train wreck trade right. And I mean hell, Schultz we should have never traded for him, he is an awful player did you see how bad he was for Edmonton.
Honestly, your expectations on a player are unreal.
Lets judge you by how you played elsewhere. Lets put you on your off side. When you are on your handed side, we give you a partner who is just coming back with a broken ankle. By the way, we will pair you a Lot with Phil Kessel who is known for his amazing defensive abilities and Malkin who is right behind him on the ALL defense team.
Sure thing, get out there and have a +60 corsi and be a +100 on the year.
You realize there are guys who finished the year in the -40 and -30s right. Most of which were in better spots than JJ was all year.
This is why you aren't a GM.
