I somewhat disagree. I think nepotism plays a role in this, but why are people acting like his points matter so much. There are so many players that are absolutely useless in the NHL like enforcers who offer absolutely nothing. Also, if he made the team he would most likely be the 4th line C which would be a defensive/checking line.
Skylar Brind’Amour faceoff percentage at Quinnipiac:
Freshman: 57.5
Sophomore: 53.5
Junior: 58.8
Senior: 57
If they can get that production in the NHL and he develops into a shutdown C he can 100% remain in the NHL.
He’s 25 years old and a not-particularly-good minor league 4C. There’s no particular reason to believe any of his skills would translate successfully to the NHL.
