Player Discussion Alexis Lafrenière

[JohnC]

Friendly reminder that game cards kinda suck and they’re just a lazy way for people to confirm their priors after watching a game.

I always forget how long they've been around. Almost as long as the original 6. Crazy.

They're useful for time-frames and not so much for individual games. But friendly reminder that when you see Ryan Lindgren at the bottom 66 times a season, Ryan Lindgren kinda' sucks and you can't blame the game card.

Lafreniere looked much better yesterday in the Oiler game....we need that every game.

 

[ReddestRum]

People keep saying he looks better, but his TOI has been getting lower. Cuylle has played more than him 3 games in a row now.

Quality over quantity

This team has held him back from the beginning.

I would have much rather thrown him opposite Panarin from Day 1 and let him sink or swim. Top PP unit, the whole 9 yards.

If you play young players as third line grinders and 2nd line depth scoring, don't be surprised when they turn into third line grinders and 2nd line depth scoring.

Best case scenario at this point, unless there are massive changes in how he's used and he lights a fire under his own ass this offseason, is likely that he follows the Kreider trajectory - hit a peak 10 years into his career when he's already being paid top line money.

Hardly the stuff #1 pick dreams are made out of.

I hate this organization's refusal to develop forward scoring prospects the way that literally every other NHL team does.

But, hey, at least Brennan Othmann's in the bottom 6. /sarcasm

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Yeah I'm ready to move on from him, get a 1st and keep it moving

Weak shot. Weak strength. Elite gum chewing though.

Can smirk like a 15 year veteran...

At some point we need to start blaming Lafreniere and his refusal to move his feet.

Maybe this was mentioned already, but did we lose the "player discussion" thread tag in the HFBoards update?

We lost data from the last year. Username changes, Stickied threads, likes, thread tags, and if you registered the last year, had to re-register.

Word is we may be getting live threads back once they can fix the glitches. We shall see.

Any word on ignored threads?

Still working on it. I’d advise just don’t go in there.
