Wow. What a stat.

There where people on twitter talking about how a 60pt season for him next year would be a disappointment.
Crazy and it will only get worse should he get heavily paid this summer.

WhatIfGodWasALeaf said:Playoffs role around and Chara and a shutdown line are able to neutralize them, what do you do then?
I think people are underestimating the value of having them apart as long as we are winning, it gives other teams fits because they can't have their best defensive guys cover both lines.

Exactly. Having 2 solid lines that contribute the offence with regularity is part of the reason the Leafs have been so successful over the past couple weeks and why they're pretty comfortably in a playoff spot right now. Scoring depth is extremely important, and, now, the actually have some. Let's not mess with that. At most, Kessel should be out there with Kadri and Lupul late in games where the Leafs really need a goal - like the Pens do with Malkin and Crosby (not that I'm comparing the Leafs forwards to Malkin and Crosby, just the situation).

Champ Kind said:Sooooo.....a contract ala Skinner, Seguin, and Eberle this summer? 6 years, roughly $30-35M?
Or play hard ball ala PK Subban and make it a 2 year, $6M deal?
Really, quite the decision. Personally, I take the latter and, at the ripe age of 24 and, presumably, after playing at the same high level, then blow the bank on him.
