Kane is limiting jacks production

That’s the problem

- gerbe75pts

Dude, what production? He's been anointed the savior. I want it to happen, but it hasn't. Every pressure situation I've seen him in, he's come up small. World Juniors, Frozen Four Championship, living up to the hype in the NHL. You want to say he is John Tavares because he scored close to 60 points in a season? Big Players make Big Plays in Big Situations. Wake me up when he scores 40 goals in a season or reaches the PPG plateau. Until then, say you don't know poop and leave it at that.

I don't see it at all

Kane makes him a better player

Pommer gives Jack stability to be creative and take a few risks


you really need to explain, how Kane is hindering Jack


Kane is their leading goal scorer and is putting up .44 helpers per game, by far his best assist % in his career



At some point the haters will realize Kane is playing his best hockey ever under Housley, and is finally putting up points like a true fist line winger


and it's not all because of Jack

So phil has made kane better?
Has phil made anyone else better or just kane?

Gerbe, interesting analysis. Right from the first (non) goal called back for the offside vs. Ottawa in the opener 2 years ago, I felt similarly.

Kane is playing above expectations and putting it all together. But he does carry the puck and shoot from all angles still. This definitely effects eichels goal scoring numbers and shots on net.

Could someone explain why sam isn't with Jack and kane? Only answer : contract related to 23.

Pominville had instant chemistry/success with Jack
I don’t think Pommer is getting moved off Jack’s wing anytime soon

I wouldn’t mind seeing Sam at RW on O’Reilly’s line... but then what are we doing with Okposo?

I’ve said it on here a bunch, so I’m sure the guys who save my posts will call me out for repeating myself again...
but put Kane on the 3rd line with Reinhart
He produces goals regardless of who his line mates are in his time here

It’ll get the 3rd line scoring more
And I’m pretty confident Jack will be just fine without him

which is why skunk has been buried on the 3rd line all season

only way that changes is if okposo or skunk moves to LW

I just don't get the hate


I really don't

- homiedclown

I like him more now than ever. That’s not the issue.

The issue is do you fall for the contract year surge. He’s never been a PPG player, ever.

Idk what u were expecting,
but he’s a heck of a player

This team around him still has major flaws

And Jack is extremely close to a PPG,
even with the PP struggling & going from 1st to worst so far this year
Once the PP improves,
I think it’s safe to assume that’ll boost Jack over the PPG standard you’ve set

Ps.
Remember to use small words so I don’t have to look them up
Thanks
