3.60 GF/60 min
2.91 GA/60 min
Without Pominville (35% of his EV TOI):
2 pts
1.16 GF/60min
4.65 GA/60 min
Now that Pominville is gone, we'll see which Hodgson the Sabres are going to get. The guy who can score at a 55-60 point pace or the defensive disaster who scores at a 25-30 point pace. If he doesn't improve his defensive play, I doubt he'll be trusted with the minutes to put up good numbers.

This is interesting. Will be pretty crappy deal if he can't produce without Pominville.
I hope for all Flames fans sake that he thrives and the Kassian trade looks very bad on MG, haha Can'tucks.
