18 NHL games and you know what Studnicka is? Please, while I won`t disagree that many on the board overrate players (guilty of it myself), it`s the way all fan bases are. There is NO replacement of Bergeron coming, first ballot HOF`er and I don`t think that is what the B`s think anyone in their prospect pool is going to be. As positive as I am about the development of Lauzon and Zboril, I`d say while we haven`t seen their final stage of development, we know what both are, more stay at home D men, one who plays with loads of nasty, both need work in their own zone but who look like NHL players, neither will do much offensively.
I`ll wager that while Studnicka won`t be a massive point producer, when he gets the chance to play C on a regular basis, we`ll see a kid who has more than enough capability to be a really nice 3C, maybe 2C but I think 3C who`ll produce 50 or so pts
