If Stamkos didn't go on the LTIR than Tbay would be force to move multiply key players.
Stamkos was placed on LTIR in April, you're talking about Kucherov. He had a long-term injury, therefore was eligible to be placed on LTIR. You can say the same thing about NYI, they don't have Palmieri and Zajac if Lee isn't on LTIR.
Oh my error. Sorry. That's why it didn't make sense.
Yeah, in Beauvillier's case, there's no real difference between his career points and the last 3 years... all good
No problemo.
The very rough way I judge people is I look at last 3 years, last year, full career contextual factors (like linemates, coach's dog house, pp time). And then if under 25 consider likely improvement if mild, if 25-30 expect stability, if over 30, suspect decline.
Thats an oversimplification, but my rough approach
He's a pretty good player... but he also hasn't improved that much up until this point. What is his ceiling? I know he already signed a bridge deal... but this realistically makes it seem like he's better than he is. Seems like an overpayment and it takes him to UFA

Right now he’s a fringe 1st line winger. Ranks 40th in offensive impact among all forwards in the last 3 years

they also couldn't use Lee in the Playoffs, on the flip side Kucherov shredded everybody in the playoffs by a wide margin.
