I think you are jumping the gun on kreider. He has only played 11 games also the lockout and injuries havent helped IMO. I still believe the kid is gonna be a bigtime player for us it just might not be until next year
I don't think I jumped any gun. I think he'll be a solid pro at some point , he skates , shoots too well not too . Not very many players become 30 goal scorers. . Heck id settle for a consistent 17-20 and 20 for a second / 3 rd line winger. Does he have 30-30 upside . I guess he's young and has the frame , raw power to do so . You can't teach the things he has . He has the genetics in his body th big question is if he has the head both hockey smarts and confidence . Which rings me to another JT comparison . JT is no physical slouch himself but does not have the stride , length or shot of CK . He does have more confidence out the gate and seems to have a higher compete level , swagger , and " feel " for the game .
