Of course Owen Tippett is a “flawed” player.

He’s also a 25-yr-old former 10th overall pick who already has seasons of 27 & 28 goals under his belt the last two seasons.

And he gives the Flyers an explosive goal-scoring /power forward dynamic they aren’t exactly loaded in.

Yeah he’s frustrating when he’s missing the net. But he’s at least usually visible & puts teams on their heels even when he’s on a cold streak.

How many of these 25-year-olds are available who scored 55 total goals in their 23 & 24 yr old seasons & have his explosion?

He's good but he's not this level of player

Tip isn’t perfect, by any means, but there’s more there — he’s only 25 & essentially a 30-goal scorer already at ages 23 & 24.

He could easily become a yearly 35-goal scorer.

JVR only hit 30 goals 2x in his life, & Flyers gave him a huge contract starting at age 29. And that’s when the cap was even lower. And Tippett is the better player, much younger, more upside.

Hard to find goal scoring. Especially with players who are only 25.

JVR was also in his prime when scoring around the NHL was much lower compared to today. He would have likely had noticeably better numbers playing in an NHL were points are scored at today's rate.
