Boy, did Jim Nill in Dallas ever get hosed!!! Tyler Seguin only had 8 points in his last 22 games!!!!1!!!1
Though I'm not sure of your point, you do realize that Seguin has 51 more points than Clarkson over the last 3 years.
Oh and though I know the status doesn't mean much but Seguin was a +53......Clarkson was a -34.
Ok, sure, I get all that. THAT makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense to me is when you say:
The Leafs paid big big bucks and long term for a guy that had 14 points in 34 games, was a -10 over that period as well. Looks to me that he better be mighty loud in the dressingroom cause he sure as heck hasn't been doing much on the ice.
Seems to me that you're putting an aweful lot of stock in 34 games of production (or, to your point, the lackthereof). It's sort of like saying Grabovski is garbage, washed up, after a poor 55 games. Or, Seguin, hence my sarcastic post.
Which sort of surprises me. I thought a guy with the handle OldTimeHockey would love a player like Clarkson.
