I said you were being ignorant because you took my opinion and then assumed that I based it off nothing but Huberdeau winning the MVP, like I'm a fool who can't properly judge things. You had no reason to suggest that that's where I reached my conclusion, for all you know I've had that belief for months.
Since you want my opinion though I'll give it; I'd seen Huberdeau in clips but never in real life. My opinion wasn't formed because it was at the Memorial Cup, it was because that was my first time watching him play in full games, and that's where I formed the belief that he'll make the NHL next year and have an impact. It has nothing to do with the MVP, although he did deserve it and was easily the best forward on his team. It's all to do with his hands, shot, and grit. World class, IMO.
You say Strome is better, and that may well be. But if he is that's definitely no sleight to Huberdeau, instead to me that would suggest a ridiculously stacked draft. Unfortunately though, I've never seen Strome play a full game so I can't tell you who I think is better, just that Strome would have to be amazing to be better than Huberdeau (which he might be). But since I've now seen Huberdeau, Strome is now the only high end prospect that I've yet to see, so I'll reserve my judgement on him.
As far as your claim that he is overrated, can you justify that? Because what I've seen is an elite shot, elite hands, with great playmaking, clutch goals, with grit and determination. So what is it that you see that counters that?
So many things wrong about this post. I'll quickly adress everyting.
First paragraph. I didn't make any conclusions about you or anyone else, I said Huburdeau is being overrated because he's the last top prospect left and he's the flavour of the month. It's hard to argue that. His Memorial Cup wasn't that spectacular, others were probably just as deserving of the MVP. Maybe your English isn't very good and you read it wrong, or you interpreted it wrong, but i'd like to know where you got the idea I was talking to you directly, besides the quote at the top which was adressing the part about who'll be in the NHL.
Second paragraph. I really don't care where your opinion comes from, but that should have been in your first post instead of freaking out and claiming I called you out.
Third paragraph. Who's talking about Strome? Not me. Not recently. Don't bring him up in this, it's completely off topic, I was talking about the recent surge of opinions on Huburdeau.
Last paragraph. I think I've already explained that, Huburdeau is the last top prospect left playing, it's understandable people go a little crazy for him, but suddenly he's better than other players because they're not playing anymore? I could understand that if Huburdeau blew people away with a Memorial Cup performance, which he did not do and Huburdeau was by no means the concensus MVP, De Serres very well could have won that as well, and Huburdeau wasn't exactly head and shoulders better than every forward on his team in the Memorial Cup. It's speculation that he's now top 3, by people on these boards, we haven't heard someone like Bob McKenzie come out and say scouts now say Huburdeau could go top 3 or top 1 ect ect.
Huburdeau's skills were already known, maybe not to people on these boards who don't see him often, but the scouts definitely knew about it already. We'll see at the draft, I think he's being overhyped since he's the last prospect left and he won the MVP on the most stacked team in the CHL, someone can disagree with me, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong but some people disagree with me. It's opinions, and because I don't share the same opinions doesn't mean I'm a QMJHL hater. Pretty much people say this because I do not like Beaulieu, which isn't uncommon, I'm not the only one, and because I said Huburdeau seems to be getting overhyped. Last year everyone said Skinner was overhyped because he went GPG in the OHL playoffs, and I was one of the few people who said he wasn't, so maybe it's reveresed now and people saying No Huburdeau isn't overhyped he's just good are right, we don't know yet, but I still think he is and it's pretty stupid to dismiss my opinion because it's diffrent from someone elses who thinks they're more correct than I am.
I say what I saw, I'm not afraid to speak my mind, and I'll keep doing it. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, If I'm right good on me. I've stated my opinion, take it, or offer your own, don't just dismiss mine and say I insulted you.
