Always liked this guy and looks like he's taken the next step.

I remember people being so low on the 2017 draft, saying it was one of the worst in recent years.

So far it has produced:
Hischier
Makar
Pettersson
Hesikanen
Mittlestadt - taken a big step this year
Necas
Suzuki
Robert Thomas
Oettinger
Robertson
Batherson

Plus a hell of a lot other players that will be mainstays in the NHL (just not as high end). Turns out it was an extremely above average draft in the end . Dont count your chickens before they hatch.

I'm as big a Gretzky fan as it comes, but I've always been a huge Ovechkin fan too. So as much as I've never wanted anyone to beat Wayne's "big" records, I'm all for seeing this one go down at this point.

To see a record go down in your lifetime not once, but potentially twice, in a span of 30+ years, is pretty damn special.

It is an interesting watch. I'd be fine if Ovechkin never scored another goal though.

And comparing different rule era's does cloud it somewhat, but that doesn't just apply to now, but the different rules for the last century.

"Records are meant to be broken." Quotes by many people.

Oh boy, it didn't take Pens fans long to be over Dubas. Not a happy fanbase.

Whatever.

Leafs are on their 16th. GM since their last win.

They can go pound salt.
