I mean it’s hard not to see Slafkovsky as a blue chip prospect with his current play. We’ll see if it continues.
Also, is Lane Hutson not a blue chip at this point?
Beauty is always in the eye of ge beholder.
Depends on what one considers "blue chip".
I'd frame it as a player whose floor is top 6 / top 4 regular/everyday NHLer, with a realistic ceiling of being in the top tier of the NHL in their position in their prime.
So Mesar, who has that ceiling, but also a floor of not making it as an NHL regular, wouldn't fit .
Slaf I think does.
Hutson... Borderline. floor might be as low as a MABergeron type PP specialist, though I think he's steadily showing that his game is multi-dimensional enough that top 4 regular floor appears more of a lock by the week.
Roy might be pushing himself into that territory.
RB is there imo, though many seem overly pessimistic based on his 12 game, injury affected D1 showing so far.
How is one suppose to take this post. You’re taking a shot at the part of the fanbase you don’t agree with. Why mention the fanbase at all? Like common man. Lol
Nothing wrong with calling out bad takes... It's a message board.
Have a take, don't suck. If your take sucks, don't be offended by it... Come up with a better take.
