The player? I have no idea what he is - haven’t watched him. They say he’s fast, a possession driver and has a shot. That seems like something Calgary has been missing. And he’s 25, but only barely, and he doesn’t have very many miles on him.
And Toffoli? Last year was a huge outlier, and a product of Sutter using him a ton, the power play being focused on him (to the exclusion of Lindholm and Huberdeau) and just a strange year. He’s normally a 50 point or so guy. He’s pretty slow and he’s 31. Everyone agrees it was time for him to go, including him.
Let’s pump the brakes on declaring this a failure.

2 years ago Toffoli was on pace for 44 goals and 25 assists for 69 points over 82 games. Not sure last year was much of an outlier.
