Brian Wilde lauds Marc Bergevin: 8 of our 9 top point getters were acquired by trade

This sounds impressive until you think about it.

Currently, 7/12 of our forwards were acquired via trade. 4 are drafted (Gallagher, Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, Lehkonen). The other is Byron, who was picked up on waivers. We have literally no UFA’s in our starting lineup. Gallagher is the sole member in the top 9, Kotkaniemi has been hurt, Suzuki is in his rookie year, and it’s no surprise Lehkonen isn’t leading.

The same kinda thing goes with our defence. 3/6 are from trades, 2 drafted and 1 a UFA.

Judging that the majority of our team has been acquired through trades, and the majority of our top players have been acquired through trades, it makes sense they’d be leading the team.
