@Occamsr15348054@afern_alex Okay but at what point are we going to say one player is clearly developing at a faster rate and has the higher ceiling. The wait and see argument is more understandable on draft night, not 2 years post draft where there’s been stagnation and little improvement from the prospect
@Occamsr15348054@afern_alex Isn’t the development of prospects and drafting kinda all about judging the kid right now based on trajectory and reasonable predictions?
@PoitrasLoverv4@plaverty24@wyshynski Well I’m pretty sure Vegas requested that the Flyers allow them to interview him and they acted like a normal reasonable NHL team and yes said go ahead
@john_ruth13629 @CarloColaiacovo Literally what is the correction between being a doctor and a professional athlete where momentum, routine and consistency is like a majority of the sport
@billmeltzer Are you really gonna harp on the critics of a goalie who has a career .884% and a .870% this year? Not even to mention it was an .850 before he finished the season strong
@Bennett_CK@SuitableAlias I mean having a 1st overall pick certainly helps don’t you think? Or having a future 1C and a 50 goal scorer already on their roster? And the fact that the Habs will actually draft players like Hutson and don’t care that they’re small and undersized
@GDePalma04@billmeltzer I feel like almost everyone was worried that his little hot streak to end the season would convince the team to bring him back for another year. We’ve had more than a big enough sample size to know what he is
@billmeltzer@GDePalma04 Oh so his few game stretch after the Olympic break makes up for the previous 2 seasons of being the worst statistical goalie in the league? Not to even think about whether he can actually stay healthy enough?
@AntSanPhilly@OnPattison It seems like if there’s an issue, somewhere along the way it wasn’t handled perfectly. If they handled it perfectly internally, there wouldn’t be external issues. I don’t get how a perfectly handled issue can still lead to this much drama and outward discussion
