I had mixed feelings about P.A. during his Islanders tenure, but he was put into a situation where he was able to succeed, and I don't think they'll be able to replace his offense. But I also don't think you'll see near the same level of production now that he's off the Islanders. Even if he ends up riding shotgun with Duchene and Landeskog, I wouldn't count on another 60+ point season from the guy. That was the product of a lot of good fortune. He could prove to be a good pickup for the Avs, but I don't think he's going to earn all that money for the full duration of the contract.

well said!

Aslong as he can come in and help Duchene get back on track and help the team win some games im ok with the 4 mil a yr hit

Wasnt this guy on waivers like 2 years ago. I wish the guy success, but Im calling a fluke year when I see it. This contract is going to suck, calling it now. Macarthur 2.0.

If he puts up anything close to what he did last year, this is a good deal at a good price. Obviously if the point totals go down it will be criticized, as of right now, im pleased
