Drew Stafford

I have never heard NHL GM's (specifically the Team USA 2010 staff of Burke, Poile, Holmgren, R. Wilson) talk so glowingly about the future of a player as they did about Drew Stafford...

so even though he had a terrible year last season, and I had a few good offers for the guy, I decided to keep him and buy out all his RFA years (5 yr - $2.14 mil)


It looks like this season, it will all pay off.

Playing on the #1 line and #1 PP unit with derek roy (who is also going to have a great year) Stafford should see a monumental increase in all his stats.


Kirk made fun of me a few weeks ago for "reading to much into preseason" and claiming Stafford would have a break-out 25G-35A-60P season...




What are your thoughts on this player?

Do you have a player who is under-the-radar that you think will make a huge leap this year?

Discuss!

I'm partial to late round gems I have uncovered. As such, I am sure I value Jason Demers and Carl Gunnarson more than most. I think Demers will have a big year.

I think your mna-crush on Stafford is stupifying.

Personally, I'd take the younger player in the same situation. Plays on the top line and 1st PP for Buffalo as well, but is only 20. Right Bryce?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

Yeah, for only 1 game..

And he's still outscoring Stafford by a mile. Not even close.

umm obviously it looks like eric, bryce, and kirk can eat some humble pie...

whilst Dave, Rob and I can take a bow...



Stafford currently has 20G, 10A for 30P in 34 GP. He is as of right this moment sitting 3rd in the NHL in Goals/Game average behind 2 guys named Stamkos and Crosby.

Bryce. Demers? Really? REALLY???
Erica. I like Ennis, but a better "scorer" than Stafford? Huh?
