<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Taking a step back is indicirive of learning a new position, no player moving from wing to developing at C at the NHL level is going to not have a hit in their points totals, especially doing so in a top 6 role.</div></div>

Specifically with Mac it took him multiple years to find himself after the move to center. It might have been better to stay on the wing for another year and work on developing his nhl skills.

After mac was promoted to 2rw that line (Landy staz mac) was the best in hockey. However Macs shot was not what it is now and keeping the defensive pressure off his plate may have given him time to develop his offensive game. Then when he moved to center the development curve would have been less pronounced.

It worked out ok with a lower 2rd contract that became the best bargain in the nhl.

That’s why I doubt he gets traded. If this is his worst season and he won the most games of any goalie in the nhl while getting hung out to dry by the “all offensive” Avs… it’s probably going to be better next year. Or at the very least any other goalie is going to be in the same boat.
That being said he hasn’t been good in a lot of games so I’m not going to fall on my sword defending him. I just don’t think Sakic and CMac are going to jump ship.
