Average rookie season. Even waiver wire Lance Bouma had 16 goals and 34 points playing wtih Backlund. Not sure why everyone always points to Sam’s rookie season as some great barometer.
You guys want to see great rookie seasons? Look at what Matt Barzal, Brock Boeser and Charlie McAvoy are doing right now or what Laine and Matthews did last season. Those are impressive rookie seasons.
