While I completely agree....
Drivesaitl, your bias is showing here - you couldn't leave this one alone? There was nothing in my post that could be construed as me disregarding the contributions of other players to our PP... in fact I specifically mentioned our FOUR playmakers on the PP. I suppose I missed out on mentioning Hyman.
I was simply stating that Nuge's role is sometimes unheralded, which of course can only happen because he is overshadowed by the legitimately Elite HoF level talent he plays with... that was clearly implied. And, as evidence of his unheralded role, I was responding to a poster suggesting we replace him with Evander Kane - and gave the reasons why that wouldn't work.
Also... as further evidence of Nuge's influence on that PP. Check his historical PP60 numbers, they are legit top 10-20 of all time (and were so before McDrai arrived)... and if you recall, in McDrai's first couple of seasons brilliant Eakins had Letestu on PP1 in Nuge's current position and Nuge centering PP2. That change alone led to our PP going from bottom half to top-5 overnight simply due to the puck possession (repossession) attributed to Nuge (not that I should need to say this, but to be clear I mean vs Letestu, not vs McDrai... it being understood and obvious that they were already elite on their own in this regard)
