He is the best goalscorer on the team.

As a defenceman. Hilarious.

[Steve Yzerlland]

We know he can put up points, what's his defensive game like?

Well they trust an 18 year old to play 20+ mins a night if that is any indicator.

8 goals in 18 games is pretty crazy for a defenseman.

People actually hated this pick?

Never understood it. A guy who projected to be a middle pairing PP1 defenseman was exactly what we needed.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

He scored, again

Proof or it didn’t happen.

I personally LOVED this pick from day one.

when you're like, "daddy, can we get some Erik Karlsson???" and your dad says, "NO! I can make you Erik Karlsson at home!"

*yes, in this joke, and in real life, Steve Yzerman is Daddy*

We've already got a top pairing PP1 defenseman. ASP would be competing with DeBrincat for PP time. Not sure he wins that.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

So is his floor Hronek?

You mean ceiling? Floor is what he is playing now lol

edvinsson can be his linemate, so no defense required

ASP wasn't drafted to play on PP1 this year, doesn't play the same position on the PP as Seider, and would be competing with Ghost for a spot, who likely is gone in 2-3 years when ASP is ready if not by this trade deadline.

Ghost and ASP don't play the same position any more than ASP and Seider do.

ASP, if he continues th way he’s played and his development goes well, will supplant Seider on PP1.

I'm laughing my ass off in a restaurant waiting for my food Have all of my likes

We missed on Quinn Hughes but at least we got the Swedish version.

Why? They don't play the same position on the PP.

We missed on Quinn Hughes but at least we got the Swedish version.

I think ASP has as many goals already as Quinn has scored in any season since he was 14. Quinn has a complete muffin-shot but is an elite skater/puck distributor and ASP is 90% his shot.

Bad people

 

[norrisnick]

Kostin may want to check his skates. He's eaten it a few times already this game.

WRONG THREAD!!!
