Obv I LOVE the Protas talk on here. Like @HTFN , I’ve been a card carrying “Protas guy” since I first saw him play.

Hell, last year — and in a bit of a drunken stupor — I made the “nutso” claim that he would become a point per game player (80pts, right @PlushMinus? 😂😬).

I scaled that back to 60pts — however I don’t think any of that is outlandish. He’s becoming what I thought he’d become. A play making winger with amazing vision and hockey IQ and a body that would allow him to “own the puck” when he gets it — and can steal pucks so quickly.

Dude is gonna me an absolute menace if he can stay healthy — OH and his younger brother (with better hand maybe?) is coming along as well.

Indeed.

There was a play in that game where Protas appeared to steal the puck but the guy got it back, then he took another swipe, then he took a third swipe and the player clearly thought he was clear but Protas's reach was so huge that the third swipe was successful and he completed the take-away. Anyway, that was good.
