DON Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Their third BEST player is clearly Plekanec. He and Markov are the most complete players on the team, and Tomas hasn't been slowed by age and injury the way Andrei has. Pleky is also very consistent. Even if he's not contributing on the scoresheet, you can bet he's killing it on the PK. Now, their third MOST IMPORTANT player would be Pacioretty. This is a team that struggles to score goals, so having a scorer like Pactioretty is huge. The team would have at least 3-4 fewer wins right now if you replace Patches' 25 goals with some generic 10-15 goal scorer. P.S. I demand a re-write so I can get published! Haha. WIsh I'd noticed this thread earlier. Sorry, got to chime in; Price has been most important/best (however you put it), he play 60minutes and has been rocksolid in 90%+ of games, Pacioretty plays <20minutes/game and can afford to err and skip on the backcheckin every once in a while, without costing a certain goal, because of 31.

Price and Subban are not part of the discussion. The discussion is about 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think the only way to know, would be for one ot get hurt, and see how it would affect the team and for how long. Losing Plek would really hurt the team's PK, and gfeneral defensive play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 This one's easy. It's MaxPac. 26 goals! He's on pace for 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thin he gets there? He has the same Goals per Game Average as Kessel and Getzlaf. I could see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There are only 23 games after the break, and we know how streaky Patches can be. That said, if he remains healthy I definitely think he'll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
