You know that goes both ways right? It also applies to your point of comtois being on pace for nearly 50 points in a full season. And I was trolling it. Because it's seems like when someone else makes a similar point in the opposite direction of your view it's a dramatic unrealistic take but your side is so measured and methodical. No man you have just as much nonsense spewing from your blowhole as every other homer on this site. My point of the entire conversation is he is going to be an average NHL player nothing more nothing less so don't blow him out of proportion like you think leafs fans so regularly do ( which I can admit alot of our fans tend to do) but we aren't all the same
I'm curious to know the "nonsense" that I've been "spewing from my blowhole". It's cool to disagree with me, but (hilariously) going off the deep end because someone doesn't agree with your "hot take" is kind of dumb.
When you say things like " Four years on a team starving for talent and only having 103 games tells me he is what he is and I personally don't think he'll be much better.", it makes me chuckle a bit. He's 22. He played 10 games a year after he was drafted (50th OA, the same year as Liljegren was taken), got hurt after an excellent start, went on the IR, was sent to go be captain of team Canada at the WJC, went on a run with Drummondville, then finished by lighting it up in the AHL. Seems like a solid way to develop a player, instead of having them play 8 minutes a night.
The following year, he played the first half of the year in San Diego, then joined the Ducks for the second half of the season before Covid shut everything down. Again, seems like a solid way to develop a player.
Finally, the next year (last year), he played the entire season in Anaheim as a 21 year old, where he led an offensively listless team in scoring, playing the entire year with a couple of plugs.
At no point did any Ducks fan compare his upside to Zegras. He's a solid upside top 6 winger.
