Too often stating hyperbole is a weakness of mine.

Hitchcock has never, in his entire career in the NHL, had a player do better than 84 points in an NHL season, and only had players even break the 80s a few times.

So, until he leaves town most of the players on his roster will be 60 point guys, with a couple breaking into the 70s, and every couple years (at best) one guy will hit 80 points)

Tarasenko, as a rookie, on a Hitchcock led team, would have to beat such crazy odds to do much in terms of his offensive production. I just don't like putting my money on guys in those types of situations.
