Believe it or not, with the Spurgeon signing today, the Wild are in a sort of a sticky cap situation. Garth suggests we could get J. Brodin at LD, and it may not be completely crazy. He seems to have fallen down the pairings.

I watch a lot of bolt games and a good reason why his points are down a bit is because they are a better team

his ice time is down to around 20 minutes per game instead of 22 and with more talent, others are netting goals on pp as well

I get this line of thinking, but a dominant player like StamkO needs to be putting up more points. A lot more. He's still the feature player of that team and has averaged more than a ppg outside of his rookie season. He's not doing terrible but he's definitely not performing like a premier elite player he usually is. At the age of 25, that's a problem.

To compare a 4 day combine to 34 NHL games is a bit ridiculous. He's playing 3 games a week at a speed and level he has never experienced before.

"His shot is out of this world. it explodes off his stick, and it's accurate, but he doesn't always shoot from the right place." He's 19.

"He has speed to burn, but sometimes hesitates for a split-second and that's enough to negate it." He's 19.

You forgot to tell us how lazy he is.

But more importantly, good post. Expectations are probably a little higher than they should be. Patience, friends. He'll come around. And when he does, he will destroy this league.

This.

A friend of mine keeps complaining to me about him. He doesn't understand why I'm not freaking out that he's not scoring at a PPG pace this year.
