At the end of the day if I had to line the two up against each other, I think Point wins that match up. It is what it is.
I watched all games last year with both of them... They are kinda similar, but last year Point won(based on your eyetest
) , becase he played with Kuch most of the time.
Stamkos last year was a beast.
I wonder why we reached historic 62 wins... and why your almighty
didn't...
Stamkos contribution was really important for us on and off the ice, also mentoring the young players, like Point,Cirelli...
Stamkos not = Mr. Phil Kessel. He helps people get better. Showing them good example and leadership...
Or Stamkos = not regressing(+ hopefully resurrecting in 2019/2020 season = it's always fun to see top tier penguins on the ice, imo last year your team was not good) Malkin...
So Stammer has a couple of good years left fortunately, and hopefully one day he will prove it in the playoff for every doubter... yes... he is not on Crosby's level... but noone expected him to be at that level, which only McDavid + Sid reaches currently in last 20 years. Hopefully Kucherov can join them if he can repeat a couple of times 110 points+ seasons...
Seems like Boltlover1 over the last months infected you with his hatred towards him. Just because he says it 5 times a day: Stamkos is trash... it won't be more true each time he says it... I thought he finally found piece with Stamkos, but not, he is starting again... Boring...
Anyways, if the roles are reversed, Stamkos would be a better player from the outside. That's what u asked, it's quite obvious...
It's a tie currently between the two centers. That's why your dream of 9.5 mill $ will be "hairs splitting".
But plot twist:
it will be your hairs and not ours... When you see his caphit.... you will take like 1 sec to press the yes vote on the signings... i help you... it's under 9... he just doesn't have any weapons, which forces us to pay him 9.5 mill $, unless its like max years... but for max it's still good deal for US.
Skinner < Point, and in 2023 it will look like the steal of the decade...
It is what it is.
Good value for our team... Makes us contenders for long time hopefully... BriseBois is da best and you will see soon...
BTW i heard teams are figured out Point's power play goals towards the end of season, so you can expect less goals from Point next year in powerplay = less money he can demand... This also makes sense why in playoffs our pp didn't worked that well. I guess he needs to improve and trick the opponents. Or rip those goals... You see not everybody in tampa is perfect and will have effortless 100 points season, just because his name is Brayden Point... Yes he is younger, so i see why you chose him... but still... both of those players are brings huge value for our team and you can't really differentiate between the two.
Like i can with Crosby > Malkin. 100 people u ask , 100 people will say, who is better : Crosby
If next year Point >>>> Stamkos i will let you know after season ends... Deal?
That can happen, because even for Stamkos its hard to repeat this good of a season. The most likely repeater imo is Kucherov, i can easily see him 115 points.
But if our coach let him rest more, then like 100-105 points still... He and some others chased every point( like empty nets etc... to get every trophy,achievement,title possible).
Well Kuch got the mvp, not bad, next year we'll definitely not make the "chasing records for no reason" mistake...
Quoting: BOLTLOVER1
No they didn't.. I would have traded Stamkos and fired Cooper in April .. christ we were like Toronto!!!! .... but since he here .. he a wing .. plays wing on PP .. and probably wing this year if Cirelli goes to 2C and one of shrimps goes to 3C
No,no,no.
You cannot trade Stamkos, he has NMC, he is the franchise center, almost 99% he stays for the whole contract, unless buyout happens and you can't do anything about it...
Why you just can't accept it, that every year, the best team wins the Stanley-Cup... We were not the best team last year in the playoffs.
Firing a coach means next year we still won't be the best team. That's why there are changes in the lineup, and hopefully we won't run into a hot team like columbus, who risked all their draft picks last year just to win 1 playoffs in their history... It worked, wow, we underestimated them, next year we won't underestimate any team , even when Florida makes the playoffs...
Best team 2018/2019:
, in regular season they played like columbus in playoffs, we couldn't win vs them = at least 2 teams better, than us last season, not even 1...
You can blame it on Cooper, but i think we just overestimated regular season results. Washington made same mistake, they learned from it, wow, they won the cup couple years later... needs luck as well... playoffs are hard...
There are no shrimps here, except in your head.
We were not like
We were the huge favourites vs
Show me one guy on earth, who guessed Columbus to win. And he is not from that city ofc. Yes i believe they exits, who bet on Columbus, but that number must be really small,closer to 1% than to 50%...
Everybody who has the right mind guessed
in the playoffs series.
Why?
Because Toronto was bad almost all year(except first 1-2 months), and it was because they had injuries + the Nylander fiasco + Babcock using their players badly.
Now they made a lots of changes in the lineup, so i expect Toronto to be really good again in the 2019/2020 and it will be tough again to beat them. Same with
, all games will be much harder... maybe that's a good thing for us... no more coasting... except vs.
