Bondra is irrelevant to this discussion since he was an All-Star by his 3rd season.

Adam Oates actually ended up playing more games for the Caps than Allison did for the Bruins, and was the the 1st line center for the team that made it to the SCF. So it worked out pretty well for the Caps.
A 48 pt season equates to around 105-110th in the league in scoring the last 5 years....I'd say that's going to buy a lot of time in the NHL, especially for a 22yr old.
