Which is silly, he's one of our few prospects with true top line upside, and that's what we need.

I mean, scoring goals is one of the main things that makes someone a top line player so…we can’t just diminish that.
The rhetoric surrounding Snuggerud on this board lately is definitely silly. From what I can tell, it started with one poster watching a game and saying “Snuggerud has 3 assists but I don’t like his effort” and from there, a handful of posters started acting like he’s trade bait.
He’s not getting traded.

I gave my assessment of his game. And have watched quite a few of his games. He’s been better as of late. But we’re fooling ourselves if we don’t admit Snuggy has some serious flaws in his game. His shot is elite and he’s a quality player but there’s plenty of risk there.
I wouldn’t look to trade him to just trade him but I value him quite a bit less than I did a year and a half ago. Still a quality prospect but I think he’s a bit overrated.
Yeah, I’m not saying your assessment was wrong. I didn’t watch that game so I’m not arguing it.
I just thought other people’s reaction to it was a little odd. And you’re a good poster so it’s definitely not a shot at you but I’m not sure any single post from anyone should carry that much sway. Maybe my memory is wrong here but from what I recall this board seemed to be pretty high on him and then that one post changed things. That’s what I noticed.
Hope people realize he still adds elements that we are desperately lacking currently.

I don’t know if the rhetoric comment is aimed at me, but I will say that the Snuggy hype train around took off early. It got bloated as the excitement around him swelled (understandably). He is certainly talented, but being around exceptional players masked some gaps in his game that became apparent once they left. He, like Neighbours, has a good shot. Snuggy’s is better. But, like Neighbours, he will have to up his playmaking and distribution game in addition to his all around game to get to a level I would classify as top line.

Basically they want to build him up enough that when he goes to STL they are planning to never see him again.
And anyone who says they never think of someone moving up to the NHL, they are lying

We've been getting reports for near a calendar year that there are some issues we don't want to hear about with this kid, despite an NHL caliber shot.
