If he recovers from the ACL, he could help in the playoffs. In 4 games (including the super bowl where he was injured early) he had 288 yards and 2 TDs. Not bad for a 2nd option behind Kupp. He definitely was showing up when it mattered most, and you can’t have enough of those players.
Tage Thompson had 25 goals, 41 points at home last year, versus 13 goals and 27 points on the road. Last year he was better at home than away, let’s see a home stand before we judge too harshly.
I know the goal is to win a Stanley cup, but last year’s presidents trophy winner, the ‘top dog of the regular season’ lost
10-2 to the canadiens
8-2 to the Senators
7-3 to the Devils
4-1 to the Kraken
I will wait to criticize until we get ~20 games in. Still not enough games played to evaluate what this team is. Hopefully Samuellson and Jokiharju recover soon.
