Yeah Kunitz is a second line forward. He was actually a third on Anaheim. But since he was playing with Crosby he was putting up over a PPG. Same with pascal Dupuis. That's why I said his points were inflated

Kunitz, Dupuis, and Neal are overrated. NBC needs to jump off their fan club.

Why would they stop marketing the team that has Crosby and Malkin?

So could Craig Adams produce as many points if he was playing with Crosby? Probably not. You still have to be good enough to make plays.

Hodgson is the center. Usually average wingers can benefit from playing with elite centers, not the other way around. One can argue Hodgson is the reason Vanek had his most productive season in years

They don't have to. I am just saying that they need to stop hyping Kunitz, Dupuis, and Neal as superstars. I remember when Mike Milbury (I know, he's crazy) compared Kunitz to Rick Nash.

Agreed. Hodge is young and can only get better I hope .

You were saying the centers make the wings look better. So was riberio feeding of off ovechkin or was ovechkin feeding off riberio. Similar to hodgson feeding off of vanek

No I found 2. Hodgson and riberio. There plenty of players that feed off of wingers. Bruner fed off of zetty although they are both wingers. Position does not matter when it comes to a player feeding off of another

Ovechkin is a wing. Ribeiro is a center.

Ovechkin is a wing. Ribeiro is a center.

Exactly my point. I was arguing that position doesn't matter when it comes to a player feeding off of another player. Riberio fed off of ovechkin just like hodgson fed off of vanek

Who cares? It means the two players work well together.

Yeah. I was reading your posts wrong. My bad. I see what you are saying now.

How do you know about Hodgson? It was his first full season with Buffalo and coincidentally Vanek's best year in four seasons. Hodgson is a very good player. Cue the moronic troll comment........

I'm not saying hodgson isn't good. I just don't think his offensive game is as good as it looks on paper and I think he won't be as productive if vaneks gone

Don't know of anyone saw this on CBJ website but at the draft the Sabres were trying to trade up to 14 to get Domi until he got picked

He probably won't be as productive because Vanek is a great player. However Vanek isn't the sole reason Hodgson scored a lot either. Both TV and Hodgson worked well together

Since when does 16 and 15 goal seasons and less than average defensive play get you 5 million a season??? Or even 4 million.
