Necas, Lafreniere and a bunch of their 1OA friends would like a word. Plenty of 1OAs and high picks have had slow starts is far from a some shocking anomaly. The whole team is playing like they don’t know hockey, so it’s hard to pin everything on him (same for Dach, same for Newhook). That’s not to say he’ll follow 1OAs' trajectories, but let’s not act like early struggles automatically define a player’s career or where he'll end up playing. There, did I walk you back off the ledge, or simply push you over?
I think you misinterpreted my post. My point is you should not discard a 1OA potential ceiling from unicorn to 2nd liner within 3 years, i.e. A lower ceiling is not a good argument for current poor performance.
