Thread: Dark Horse Youngster Who Could Make a Push for a Roster Spot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Who was hyping up Liligren, I must have missed that 😅. And Sandin just signed for 5x$4.6M but he’s a flop? Robertson was maybe hyped up based on his strong final year in junior, but he and Knies are having strong years.
I don’t think you know what hype is ; all things Leafs get a lot of attention because we’re the most popular team in the league and multiple media outlets always looking for content. But that’s not hype - I don’t recall any prospect getting over hyped since Matthews; maybe Robertson &amp; Knies to a small extent.
OP simply posted that sought after college FA the Leafs just signed might make the team as 4th liner; that’s far from hype dude</div></div>

Ya, I mean who was hyping up the player who all Leafs fans fell back on 'he would have been a top 10 pick if he didn't get mono' and had penciled into the top 4 for years. Now Liljegren is struggling to make a playoff lineup 7 years into his pro career.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>That’s simply not true; if anything Leaf prospects are unfairly dumped on - either by some Leaf fans who love to hate on the team or rival fans who hate the amount of media coverage the Leafs get. Can’t think of the last Leafs prospect that was over hyped; maybe Knies but he’s been exactly what most thought - work in progress , power forward that could bag 30+ goals eventually. Leafs were ridiculed when they picked Cowan, and he’s looking like a steal</div></div>

I mean who was the last Leafs prospect who lived up to the hype from the fans? Liljegren? Nope. Sandin? Nope. Robertson? Nope. Knies? Not looking good so far. The Leafs haven't had a prospect who has lived up the hype since Marner, Nylander and Matthews almost 8 years ago.

Fanbases regularly overvalue their prospects regardless of which team it may be. It's just weird to be doing it as one of the worst prospect pools in the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Brother, I use stats that come from NHL.com. Don't accuse me of making stuff up if you're too dumb to figure out how to read. Kotkaniemi's starting to get things going again, he couldn't buy a goal for a while, but he's going well and is still worth every penny of that deal. But you know, you spread your fictional narrative because you're clueless.</div></div>

You say you use stats that come from NHL.com ... then you proceed with being wrong about the stats that do come from NHL.com. You are just a liar.

For example. here's what NHL.com says about Kotkaniemi's points in the last 6 games.

How did you come up with the site telling you 4 other than it being a bold faced lie? It was the same for Staal's ice time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>He ain't cold now, four points in six games since the deadline is about right for Kotkaniemi. It's not a career long cold spell, as he's needed time to develop, but surely you aren't that dumb. He's coming off a 40 point season was that a cold spell? He's coming off one of the best analytical defensive seasons by a Hurricane, that a cold spell? Shut up brother, you're clueless. He had 3 months where he couldn't score, his confidence completely dropped, and he struggled. He's still been generating chances, but he's been incredibly wasteful at this moment. It's just a matter of time with him, and simply watching him shows that</div></div>

I've learned that a lot of what you say is just made up after the wild Staal icetime claims you tried to make so I double check claims like this now. 3 points in the last 6 games, including 2 secondary assists in the 7-2 win over Calgary. Surely that's just the new normal rather than him happening to have touched a puck at the right time.
