Bo is 42nd in the league in points per game among centres... and he's a #3 centre?

Bo is 11th in the league in minutes-per-game among centres... and he's a #3 centre?

Such nonsense...

Come on Doc...you know we're all about the now.

If Bo is 42nd in points doesn't that reinforce my "average 2nd line center" designation?

I was attacking all that #3 centre bullshit there Dan.

23-yr-old Bo is already a quality #2 centre and is trending up (despite the present cold streak).

Definitely.

I also think the team rode him waaaay too hard early on this year and hes been paying for it ever since.

The Original Urine Crew.

Kidding. Kidding. :mrgreen:

I kind of miss those old wild west Central days. Way more colorful characters, way more vicious but way more fun too.

This team has a lot more pressing needs than the need to shoehorn Bo Horvat into the 3 rd line centre hole.

Still short a couple top end wingers and a couple top pairing d men. Makes little sense to crap on one of the best 2nd line centres in the NHL.

Horvat is the Dustin Brown of this team, minus the borderline BS calls Brown got away with in his time.

He needs a skilled #2 C to push him down to a faceoff role or something.

I thought this article was funny : 2017's Best and Worst UFA signings

Kuznetsov one of the worst.

Gagner one of the best.

I think over half the 'Best' signings are already out of the league :lol:

I originally thought the author had a strong fancy-stats bias, but now I'm not so sure.
