I disagree. This will be like Kane, awful analytics on a middling to bad team that improves when Wheeler steps onto the ice with the Rangers. There is almost no downside to this signing.

55 points is 55 points. Even if he does 40 points, at 800k how do you not signup for that?

Ok then we'll disagree like adults.

He could totally suck. I/We have no idea what will actually happen.

I am in the most pessimistic mood I have been in about this team in a long time, maybe ever. But I don't see any reason to be annoyed at this signing.

I’m not giving my opinion on wheeler here. But you scoff at charts and then use some opinion piece by a doofus named brian as your reasoning. It’s just funny to me. Carry on

It's the pattern of the type of player that is problematic for me. and that has to be the philosophy.

Those same charts had Patrick Kane at 91 points being bad too. Guess what?

Why do we even keep responding to Tom. It's like cruel trick he plays on us.

this literally only happens because Tom wants it to happen

all he has to do is have the attitude of "meh, I dont like him but it's only an 800k cap hit, no risk there" but you guys refuse to understand that he wants the blog to burn

It's not a trick. Scroll up. Look at Bingo, Look at JRR, Look at Tony. We can engage in conversation and not act like an bumholes. Some people don't want to do that. I can't control unhinged 60 year adults.

Because I’ve already given my opinion and repeating it isn’t going to move the needle here. I just don’t get why you get this obsessed. Ignore the guy if it bothers you that much

Im good with all of it. A lot of the banter perplexes me, but by in large it's all open. Historical data are facts. Interpretation of data for future prediction of patterns are opinion based at the core.
All in good fun to me.
