Maybe he goes cold and finishes the season with 58 points. But 58 points while being dominant are worth more than the "Phil Kessel 80" that gets overvalued.
This was a #2 overall pick taken ahead of Seth Jones here. We're not talking about Josh Jooris.

Agreed - they can go for a bridge deal but it may end up costing them more in the long-run. Anyone who watches the Panthers closely knows that Barkov is their best and most improtant player.
