Even if he does (which I don't think he will), overall I don't think they get any better as a team. Which is what people are missing here.
I think 20-30 goals means you're giving him significant minutes, which means you're taking those minutes away from a less-slow, more responsible player (relatively speaking), and also means you're probably paying for it at the other end of the ice. Because outside of the shot that we hardly even got to see, the dude is no good everywhere else in his game. And if he is also no good in the locker room then it's a match made in heaven in Edmonton.
