If the bar is set that high, I guess there hasn't been a generational talent on forward since Gretzky either.Amazing start to his career but there hasn't been a generational talent on defence since Orr. Its a high bar.
I don't think most consider him better than MacKinnon.It depends, is he a "two-way" player and is he the "most valuable" to his team?
Generational? No, because that’s McDavid.
Generational defenceman? Possibly. He and a few others will probably be in the mix for that distinction.
he does look like a Auston Matthews playing at defense so I'd say yes
Amazing start to his career but there hasn't been a generational talent on defence since Orr. Its a high bar.
Lidström was closest to being generational since Orr. But I agree.
If he and a few others are in the mix then no one is in the the mix.
Given that the media hypes 1-2 generational players every draft then yes he is. To be serious though he is the best d man to come into the league since EK and if he keeps it up he will be the second best player in the league as soon as next season and that’s pretty good as no one is going to de throne Mcdavid for at least another 5+ years.
That’s how these things work. They’re not predetermined.
I dont think they are saying its predetermined. Just that if multiple people are in the running for "generational" then they haven't actually separated themselves from each other and thus none of them are generational.
It should be almost self evident that a player is generational, if there is confusion about it, then they probably weren't.
