Quoting: KingofRnR
You’re probably right, but then again, Dylan Strome sucked in ARI and things changed dramatically for him when he was Traded to CHI
Sam Bennett, Ryan Hartman, Carter Verhaeghe, Michael Bunting, AJ Greer are some other names who’s performance dramatically improved after being Traded, so it definitely happens
Neither player in this AGM have the upside or promise of any of the players you just mentioned to be honest.
- Strome proved more in ARI than either of these guys.
- Bunting was given a shot to play wing to Mathew’s and Marner.
- Greer will return to earth soon, I promise.
- Hartman played 8 NHL games before his first full season and netted a respectable 30pts.
- Verhaeghe had 50pts through his first 100 NHL games.
- Bennett 36 pts in first full season,
Again, neither Gauthier or Duehr have shown a fraction of that much success at the NHL level compared to the guys above. Not really great comparisons
