Why no love for Porter?
I agree with rw77 ( )....Porter could have a very good year if he is paired with the right players.
I think that once the team starts finding their scoring touch, Porter will start to add to his point total nicely. His goal against WI was very nice...picked the top corner on Elliott from the slot.
And I think that every team (and line) needs a player like him...always hustling, moving, grinding the corners, getting in front of the net looking for loose pucks to slam home.
If I were Hakstol, I would keep him on the 1st or 2nd line for those reasons.
