<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>I'd argue they were pretty average - if anything because McDavid and Draisaitl were so good they made those guys look better than they actually were.

I mean come on, Kane and Hyman were praised by their contribution in the playoffs score wise - yet they barely managed 50% of the scoring McDavid and Draisaitl achieved.

Put everyone of them except maybe McLeod to any other team and their production will drop, it's almost a guarantee.</div></div>

Ok with that so why doesn't everyone excel with McDavid and Draisaitl?
A special player works good with each of them, Maroon for example.
JP cant put up points with them. Lots cant, its been years of trying. So your point is completely wrong.
Furthermore it once again comes down to our defense and fixing that huge problem.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>I...can't agree with that statement. Just about nothing what Holland has done is pointing out to that direction. He's not targeting guys to fill an exact need, he's not signing guys to team friendly contacts, and he hasn't been able to build a roster that is defensively stable. That roster relies way too much on McDavid and Draisaitl - way more than Tampa relies on their top guys.</div></div>

Yup Defensively stable is how we got screwed with the KlembombLarsson problem which lead to Barrie Keith. Our defensive would have been fantastic and it is exactly what we are still lacking. Holland is trading picks, not prospects. Allen will get lit up like the rest of our goalies with our defense.
Kane, Hyman, McLeod and Yamamoto were very very good for us, so saying we are relying on McDavid and Draisaitl is not a fair statement to make anymore.
