Brent had Iginla, Tanguay, Jokinen, Cammalleri, Glencross, Hagman, and Stempniak and yet his teams couldn't score. It was agonizing.
Kings have Kopitar, Brown, Doughty, Carter and can't score but that's what happens when your best players are all on the backside of their careers. What were Iginla, Jokinen, Cammarreri, Glencross, Hagman, Stempniak's stats post Flames? They were out of the league or winding down their careers as depth players. Those were all post apex players with Iginla being the only one that was a bona fide top line forward and I still say any team that relied on players like Glencross, Bourque, and Jokinen in their top 6 to score goals is not a playoff team.
