Hedman snakebitten, but obviously getting lots of PP time, racking up the assists

Hedman was starting to step his game up big time towards the latter part of last season. Glad hes played pro hockey somewhere, even if it is the KHL...its better for a raw talent such as his to get the playing time in.

Many of the people that have prematurely down on Hedman over the last year or two will be in for a surprise this year. At least, I hope so! :)

None of those totals are surprising. Even McDonagh, who is closer to Adam Foote and Derian Hatcher as a defensive rock who gets points from simply being on the ice a lot.

I think McDonagh has more offensive upside than most people realize. KHL stats dont mean much especially for North American players.

Hedman is 6th in KHL Dmen scoring with 16pts in 18 games. Top guys have played 28 games.

Hedman could be a beast if TB let him loose.

Those are great numbers in the KHL and I think it will build a lot of confidence for Hedman on the offensive end, which is good news for us owners. But I have precommitted to being patient with him so I will be.
