And this is the crux of the issue. We depend on JG to best the best player on the ice when he should be the 2nd or 3rd best (Even his pay dictates this)

I honestly dont know how this team will generate a scoring chance without JG on the team.

No need to try to tank - If you can't score in today's NHL and have a lethal PP you will be terrible - tanking or not
Yes.

As for scoring chances, who knows? How was NYI going to score without Tavares? CBJ w/o Panarin (okay, not as well lately, but they were still competitive last year)? DAL could barely score with Seguin last year, and they're slightly better this year.

Imagine if we even got assets back?

Someone else will play those ~18 minutes. Maybe the rest of the team will stop riding passenger waiting for Johnny to do something.
