He'll get you 60+ points if healthy but will be -40 doing it. Not worth it.
- LordHumungous

he averages 72+ points and a -4 per year for his career , so not quite that bad

Hockey is a team game.

Tavares made the Leafs a better team but they still lost game 7. It takes a team to win.

So why sign him if he can't make the TEAM better in the playoffs?

now that is a good question. I wonder how all the TO cast-off media in this town will try to spin the Wonderkins failings , and how the model franchise for drafting and doing it the right way will explain the loss to the Bruins

it’s not a one man show out there, given the right circumstances he could absolutely help the Canucks be a better team, it’s pretty obvious he’s one of the best in the business. Agree to disagree. You’ve gotta build one brick at a time.

do you get the concept of being the best in your peer group? why would that change in the next step ? he has proven over and over that he keeps developing as he and others move up tiers , in fact he exceeds as the levels get harder

I've listed smaller players that were counted out early , I've never said he'll be this or that , just that it can happen for a smaller guy

He doesn’t make players better.
He doesn’t drive the play.
When he plays against bigger faster & better players he’ll be another perimeter player like a Nylander Ehlers & every other regular season then a playoff disappearing act. The Housley of forwards.

he makes everyone around him better
he drives play by always scoring
the rest is just your opinion with no basis in fact
right now in his peer group playing in a playoff like tourney ,he is outscoring the consensus #1 pick , while breaking / challenging the all time records for goal scoring in the tourney

Karlsson cost you money, Risto costs you assets, it’s not even close how much less Karlsson would cost. Vantel is out to lunch, as usual, sorry.
