what's all this hype you speak of? appearing on the cover of a video game and doing a skills contest in the ASG?
That's exactly my point. He's far from a "young star" he has a long ways to go before he achieves that status. Yet he gets marketed with the legit elite of the elite like McDavid and Matthews
i mean, if your opinions are based on your feelings, you’re admitting that you just don’t like him. Which is fine. I wouldn’t like him either if he wasn’t a Panther.i don’t feel he is the Top 5 F many have said he is. Great player, obviously, but more of a Top 20 F than a Top 5 F.
Do accept my apologies, if that opinion upsets you
He also takes more criticism than nearly any of his similarly accomplished peers. Hard to say guys like Caufield, Laine or Zegras are overrated when it’s so fashionable to hate on them.
ROR was looking to get paid which is a common thing with players, there is no more home team discounts and things like that, it is a fantasy more or less. The guy was drafted 33rd overall and turned out to be legit 1C. It is a bit offtopic probably but it has been bugging me for years and I had to say it
Landy is a good player, I just think all that leadership qualities talk is overrated in general. Joe Sakic also signed an offersheet back in the day if I am not mistaking.
so the league (one that has struggled for years and years to market their young talent) shouldn't market one of their most marketable players because.......he's not as good as two of the best players in the world?
If I was a casual/new to hockey, I'd be very underwhelmed to learn one of the players the league is marketing is nothing more than a one dimensional 60 pt player. I'd be thinking really? That's the best ya'll have?
He did, he is also a hall of fame player. In the heyday of the the Avs/wings rivalry opposing players were also told not to chirp him…. From their own Detroit teammates. The level of respect he commanded is in a totally different stratosphere than either of the current players being discussed. You are moving goalposts and dodging both questions:ROR was looking to get paid which is a common thing with players, there is no more home team discounts and things like that, it is a fantasy more or less. The guy was drafted 33rd overall and turned out to be legit 1C. It is a bit offtopic probably but it has been bugging me for years and I had to say it
if you were a casual fan or new to the sport, you wouldn't even know what it means to call a player one dimensional or care how zegras compares to the world's best players
Because I don’t have him in the same tier as Matthews, Drai, Kucherov etc, I must dislike him? He’s in the next tier with Eichel, Barkov, Hughes, Pasta etc. I think that’s a perfectly reasonable take
Fair enough, but you can’t share basically little on your opinion, claim it’s due to feelings, and be surprised that lines were drawn.
sorry, I’ll have my PowerPoint presentation ready by 15:00 CST.
Its funny about Point, I always feel like he flies under the radar in Tampa to the point where he might be underrated. Id say he gets the 5th most attention on Tampa after Kuch, Stamkos, Hedman, Vasi.
Not true at all. Canucks fans were constantly comparing Hughes to Makar and Fox until it became just irrefutable that they were on a higher level. Hughes now took another step this year to put him in their conversation, but this isn't the first year they've been compared at all.
Obviously I'm biased but I don't see how Point gets overrated. It feels like people forget he's on the team sometimes.
