Much better balanced in the top 6. G should be the guy to elevate the play of the guys around him. - JAKEw1234
Early on in the season Vinny and Schenn showed tremendous chemistry. - 2Real
Not really. Vinny did most of his early season scoring on the PP. Prior to being sidelined with the back injury, 5 of Lecavalier's 9 goals were on the PP. He had his best game playing RW with Giroux vs the Isles, when he had a hat trick
No, no, not at all. I was hoping you might get it. You said all he did was score 20 goals which made me think of when Buddy said all Chris Carter did was catch touchdowns. - hockeylover
He does -- maybe he has trouble focusing and being consistent and that will ultimately be his undoing. That could happen. But he sure looks like he puts in the work to make it. That kid looks like he can beat somebody's ass without breaking a sweat

he clearly doesn't have trouble focusing at the gym
he was able to do all that while having back issues if he's feeling better this year watch out - 2Real
Do all what? He scored 20 goals. Good for him.
He was bad in almost every other facet of the game. He's been a possession anchor for the past two seasons. He's unable to play LW, which is where the team could actually use him.

Lecavalier's GF20 is higher with schenn than without

It is. Could have to do with the fact that when he was used on other lines, it was generally miscast as a LW, where he was uncomfortable or playing with guys like Rosehill & Rinaldo.
A better GF% with Schenn doesn't make it a good pair. It means he sucked slightly less with Schenn. And Schenn's numbers, almost across the board, were better without Vinny.
