What if he appears to be not trying it not driving those sacred possession numbers because he sees things differently and is finding the spots he needs to be in to maximize his goal production. Us old timers use to refer to that to being in the right place.

And finally, before I leave for the best brewery anniversary party in Western New York, since when do power play goals count less then 5 on 5?

There's probably nobody better in the league at this than, and I hate to say it, Matthews. His numbers are wildly different than Laine's

I'll be at Hamburg.

They count less because most of the game is played 5v5. If he's such a bad 5v5 player that other teams score on him 5v5 his pp production won't offset that. 

Where's pi and his team relative +/- ... laine was twice as - as the next person on his team.

If you can get him for Risto with a bit extra, you do it. Sign him to a short bridge deal and commit to the plan you have. If HCRK is half the motivational force that he's been touted to be he should be able to squeeze more out of guys that have those kinds of issue. You don't get a coach known for analytical openness and motivational strength and then not give him any problems to solve that you can get for cheaper. If you believe in HCRK's strengths you give him the ability to showcase them to better your team for cheaper.

This is just not my experience watching Laine ~ 50-60 times a year.

I’m the good looking guy with a red and blue checked shirt. And I’m drinking volume 1.
