If he keeps growing at the pace he is going he might be a 30 pt guy in 82 games this coming season.
He had a few injuries this year, plus a bit of a sophomore slump. If you're going to call him a 30 point player because of a sub-par 2nd season then you really are out to lunch.
Av management is obviously blaming his poor season on the poor team overall and were ecstatic that he didn't play anywhere near the level he was supposed to as that would have cost them Mackinnon.
This is a joke right?
I always think it is the responsibility of the best players to carry the team.
And he did, Duchene carried them. Not to mention when your best players are still on their ELC, you can't expect them to carry the team.
He is no where close to where Phanuef was when he got his big contract and that didn't turn out well.

Also, they don't have to qualify ROR at 6M, they can take him to arbitration to lower it so that point is irrelevant.
