He's at a pace of 48 points in a complete season.

Cap hit comparables to him:

Brouwer who scores around 40 points a year.

Alex Tanguay who scores around 55 points a year

Jarrett Stoll who scores 40 points a year

Antoine Vermette who scores 45 a year

Paul Gaustad who scores 30 a year

Derick Brassard who scores 40 a year

Dave Bolland who scores 40 a year

If you look at that, he's pretty bang on.

you're putting him in a list of well known elite defensive forwards and who are also excellent faceoff men, they can afford to only have 40 points DD is no good at any of the other stuff they do

I'm here to keep a tight ship.

sure, pick and choose.
what about Kunitz, Williams, Brown, and Giroux???
- muffin_man

Brown and Kunitz score 55 points a year

Giroux hasn't signed his UFA deal yet, so we're not comparing players in the same situation.

Williams scores 60, when healthy.

Desharnais scored 60 last season.

I was thinking the same thing.


*shudders*

David Perron is another comparable who is vastly superior in overall game.

OH OH

True.

This is this season.

DD = Dustin Brown.....apparently.

All of those guys don't suck as bad a DD defensively though...
- BashCH

They don't suck as much as DD defensively, but they don't produce as much(most of them). It evens out. It's not a bargain, but it's not a bad contract either.

une fois y'allais compter pis j'ai entendu Therrien gueuler "noooooooooooooooon" fait qu'il la crissé dans l'coin.

Kunitz is likely to hit 60 this year (if he hasn't already) so if we're going to talk about career years as norms, gfy
Brown is a way more complete and desirable player
Williams had 76 points one year so his career year is WAY better than DD's.

Any more arguments to make?

- muffin_man

superior? defensively
elite? on faceoffs

He needs to pick up another hobby. Any suggestions?

- QuebecPride

No it doesn't...I'd take any of those players on my team before DD

Cole had 65 last season...
- BashCH

Cole never had 65 playing with Staal, so DD > Staal

defensive forwards is good.
- muffin_man

ok well GOOD defensive forwards

and Elite on faceoffs (can't argue that, between Stoll, Vermette, Gaustad and Bolland)
