Thread: 2019-20 Blockbuster to Rebuild on the Fly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>No, but point totals in age-18 season (or age-19 season) tell me very little about whether they will be successful or not. And would never call a player a bust after his draft+2 season.</div></div>

There are plenty of players I would call a bust after draft +2. I'm pretty sure we all knew Puljujärvi was a bust draft +2.
It is what it is. A 1st over all is suppose to be able to show he belongs at this level and is worth of the 1st over all. You can make excuses all day. 50 points is disappointing for a 1st over all. If McDavid, or Matthews or any other forward came out 1st over all and was a 50 pt player they would be hearing the same thing. Just because he plays for NJ doesn't mean he should be cut slack on it.
I'm not saying he's a total bust or not an NHL quality player, he is. But he's clearly not been worthy of the draft level of a 1st over all.

Hornqvist doesn't have negative value. God the pens trolls on here are incredible. FFS he knocked in 18 goals last year in 69 games. That's 21 goals on an 82 game season.
He's more likely to be a LTIR guy before declining.

I think if they trade Horny they are going with someone younger. Someone like Kahun or McCann. This team wants more speed. Every move they made this off season has been about getting younger and faster. Kahun, Tanev,Galchenyuk. They are trying to win foot races and increase the speed of the game. This is going to be a faster team on the ice next year. No more sluggish play.
If they move a forward it's either Jugs or Horny because of that. Could be both. But I don't think they are going to be bringing in any big names like Zucker, who is one fast skater. The reason I say that is there isn't really anyone on MIN who has speed. Zuc is shifty but he's not blazing fast and neither is Donato. So he's their "team speed" if you will. So I don't see them trading him.
To find a speed guy they are gonna have to go younger as I don't see teams giving players like that up.
