If we ever make the playoffs I can't imagine Sam being able to set up shop in front of the net like he does now. He'd take a beating.

 

True, but it would be fun to see.  Reinhart cross checked, fixes helmet.  Reinhart cross checked, fixes helmet.  Lather rinse repeat.

Sam with nice speed on the back check, nice set up to Ryan

His game is coming people

Is Sam showing himself to be as much a goal scorer at the NHL level as a playmaker? Never would have thought that going in, but the stats pretty much bare that out.

 

He often doesn’t have the space to dish, but he’s always going to the net, and that’s where he scores 95% of his goals.

Sure has improved since early in season, good to see!

When ya tell me the tank was bad I look at Dylan strome then I watch Eichel play and I sleep like a baby.

Maybe. He needs to find consistency.

The consequences of tanking versus not tanking are not of having Eichel versus having Strome. Not-tanking doesn't change our standings position by 2 points, nobody knows what we'd look like now. Maybe instead of Reinhart, Eichel, and Nylander we have Ehlers, Werenski, and a lotto win giving us luck with a Matthews. Nobody knows what would have happened, though I'd comfortably bet everything I have that 

 

a.) We'd be a much better team right now than one that is...still tank-bad

b.) Pro-tankers back in 2015 after the lotto would have bet anything they had that we wouldn't be in this position in 2018 (I was and can vouch for this personally)
