Space is a lesson in humility.
When you realize that light takes over eight minutes just to reach us from our own star, the 100,000 light year span of the Milky Way becomes almost impossible to mentally process.
We are tucked away in a quiet corner of a vast cosmic spiral, barely a flicker in the grand timeline. Every light year represents a distance so immense that our fastest technology is functionally stationary.
It is a hauntingly beautiful reminder that while we look at the stars, we are actually looking into the deep past of a universe that is far larger than our imagination allows.
@NYRLouie Size and grit easier to find than skill that puts up 85+ points a year.
If you can get both obvi it’s slam dunk but not sure B. Tkachuk has demonstrated that (thus far at least).
Hes had 83 point season once in 8 seasons showing is possibility for him rather than probability
@NYRLouie Caveat. Power forwards take longer to develop than traditional forward so Tkachuk being two months younger than Robertson can still succeed the latters ceiling.
Counter caveat. Robertson listed 6’3” versus Tkachuk’s 6’4” so how different are they size wise truly?
@NYRLouie Different but I do believe the hybrid of 60 - 70 point skill + physicality has been overrated in league in last decade.
I’d prefer taking the 85 point guys who scores 35-40 a year and find the physicality in a player suited for bottom 6 who nets 8-14
@xab1ball This is not representative of what Gavrikov brought. Anyone with half a brain who watched the Rangers last 5 years know he was massive upgrade.
This delegitimatizes these charts more than make a point about the player(s)
