Did that change your expectations coming off last year? Mine were higher, and the ERod fan-club were much higher.

.41 ppg player before last season
.40 ppg player this year

nothing wrong with him, other then the few bone head plays

What will happen is the same thing that happened to many others in his situation.

He will be asked to do less, do ok, and then after years of being over rated, he will become under rated.

I wanted ROR traded, but I said it before, O’Reilly was an actual good player. Ristolainen at his best is a very average player all things considered

If they trade him, I won't be worried about how he does. Just get a good return

As the leader of the erod fan club, it was pretty much what I expected. He had .4 points per game, can play any forward position, PK, can fill in on the PP and play a notch higher in the batter order if need be. He was the only bottom 6 player who could create on his own and drive possession, and he's the only player not named Eichel who can exit the d zone with his feet.

My biggest disappointment is his shot, which is probably below NHL average. That said, I think he performed well, and considering his salary, he did very well.

I don't think I have ever seen him take a shift off

I see his value as a bottom 6 guy, but he regressed last year.

Ask him, he’ll tell ya.

He is the speed.

The only modern bottom 6 player we have

According to Corsi and Fenwick ratinges 2017 was his best year. Probably because for the first time in his career he wasn't taking 53+% of his faceoffs in the Dzone.

2018 was his second best career year just tiny points lower than 2017 but his Dzone faceoffs jumped back up to 51.5%.

That is for possession and overall.

He had less goals, assists, blocks, shots and takeaways than 2 years ago.

A guy his age should be progressing statistically, which he has stagnated at best. Is this more fair of an assessment? Because he's not getting better...

they really did a good job with the movie, I could be picky and point out some blah acting or want a more more fight/destruction scenes but it's so much better then the first godzilla a few years ago and the t rex one with the war game kid


first time I left a godzilla movie feeling satisfied and the next one is going to be so good

He had at least 2 primary assists for Sobotka's 5 goals

Using the Sobotka assist inflationary index, those two assists are worth 5 points

Jack Hughes agrees.

watched rocket man last night, what a snooze fest

dead don't die is still worse but not by much

Agree to disagree

He's also 1 of maybe 6 or 8 guys on that 23-man roster who was entertaining to watch. That's worth something

I heard a good interview with him a few weeks ago. That wasn't how he told the story.

the latest is " He also was invited to the 1980 U.S. Olympic team tryouts and recounts that story, including spending time playing on a line with future Olympic hero Mark Johnson."
