Since when are Taylor Hall and Phil Kessel junk players? Also recall OEL getting Norris consideration in the past. I do get sick of seeing these new fan favorites being blown up with claims they had no one to play with when their lineups have had quality talent on them. They don't score because of the systems they play or they just aren't that good. I also get sick of seeing our guys continually run down for having no talent, but these lesser players pumped up to be better with little to support the claim other than the "change of scenery" mantra.

Playing for a bad team cuts both ways, either the guy pops or he gets shuffled to appropriate minutes and production suffers. Dvorak had all time highs for ice time and still produced as a low end second line center (50th overall). I doubt he get 18+ minutes on a better team.
