do you know anything about sk's time in montreal? of course he improved... look at him now.
that whole SAD line was very effective. funny part is dumont and arnott were notorious for not hustling and paying attention to the defensive side of the game.
you have one valid name, sullivan. . . not exactly naming guys excelling offensively..

He expects players to operate within the system, but that does not mean suck the offense out.
is what I see from you on this. Even Adam Hall was a better scorer as a Pred than after he left. For all of the gripes about Legwand, he was the statistical median for the second forward drafted as of the beginning of this season (going back to the 1990 draft). After never scoring more than 53 points as a Sabre, Dumont averaged over 67 points per season in his first three years as a Pred under Trotz. Kariya averaged 80.5 points as a Pred under Trotz, a level he exceeded once in the four seasons before joining us (81 pts in 02-03). The FACTS just aren't there to support Trotz sucking the offense out of players.
