Not useless, overpaid when looking at point production. That was the line in the article. I was commenting on the article and the nexus he drew between the two. If you want to add value for other things fine. The article was about points.
And his ilk would be? In 2016 he was the 14 highest paid player in the league. 61st in scoring. The writer made a correlation between point production and salary. It was not far off.

Quebec City is not a viable market despite the claims otherwise. They will not support a team the way a new franchise will. They are not a corporate hub to sell boxes in and they struggled in attracting STH in the past.
