What? Are you serious? Hanifin's underlying numbers have REGRESSED since he was traded. He's gone backwards. Just because he's putting up points isn't a sign of growth. Seth Jones put up 50 points last year, but that doesn't mean he isn't a turnstile. I'd love to say he's gotten better. But he really hasn't. This is the Lindholm argument. Lindholm didn't improve. He got put with players that can score. This isn't saying he's carried on his line. This is to say that he is a pass-first guy that never played with a goal scorer capable of doing what Tkachuk and Gaudreau did in Calgary. Trying to say "he's a much better player than he was there" is lazy and the proof is in the underlyings.

If the kid plays a full season I’ll be on board.

not a reason to call someone overrated IMO. Is Lindros overrated? Lemieux?

Quiet frankly I agree with what you say about Zegras he’s an excellent but I think the hype for his lacrosse goals is getting annoying which is why I stay far away from Twitter whenever I can as for Nylander you have a completely valid point, if he wasn’t in Toronto he’d be treated like any normal player his caliber but since he’s in a market like Toronto he gets treated like Steve Yzerman

Both played more than enough full seasons to prove themselves. Hughes hasn’t
