VALUE TO TEAM

THIS ONE IS NOT close. Pittsburgh won the Stanley Cup last season without Letang. He has been good on the power play, but when he’s replaced on the point with Justin Schultz, I don’t see any drop in Pittsburgh’s performance. As a defensive player, he has been very average. Byfuglien is the physical and emotional leader of the Winnipeg team. He plays in all situations and appears to make his teammates better. His loss would create a huge void for the Jets.
