It’s a Bennett issue too, which compounds the frustration. He hasn’t developed at all since stepping onto NHL ice. Tkachuk looks like he may be following the same path as well.

I can find people who said at the time that the Barkov contract was a “massive overpay”. Funny.
Barkov and even Scheifele are not quite Hart candidates, though they are all legit 1Cs and a tier above Monahan.
