These are Trotz offensive numbers. The biggest problem is we have defensive defenseman (exclude Schaefer) that do not contribute offensively. Imagine if Pulock (Schaefer already has three years worth of Pulock goals half way through the season) did anything offensively for this team. I'm sick of hearing about his shot. With Roy's style do you think Devon Toews would ever have been a cap casualty? Pelech, Pulock and Mayfield are Trotz era defensemen and Deangelo is one who people will always say had potential in his career and never quite reached it. Lee is old, Ritchie is young, Shabanov is new, Heineman a welcome surprise, Tsyplakov a bust, Barzal is Barzal, Palmieri is hurt, Holmstrom an enigma, Pageau a faceoff machine, and the 4th line gives energy but not goals.

Not hating on Drouin but, him and Duclair are a waste of $6 million dollars.
