Im sorry, but I can't take your opinion on him seriously. You have a massive hate on for the player and came in swinging against him in the preseason with no basis or facts.
Arivdsson has been one of the better players all season, getting shots off, always skating, being the middle of it and motoring to the net. Only him and Hyman do It consistently. They get in there and buzz around.
You always bring up his injury history like it's relevant how he's played so far. Its not. He's been solid, if he end up getting hurt in the future it doesn't change anything he's already done. So we are just going to have to agree to disagree.
You have clear, demonstrated bias against him and I just take what you say about him seriously.
On the basis of what he's done thus far I'm not sure the "one of the better players" tag is warranted or hyperbole.
Better players: Drai, McD, Ekholm, Booch, Pickard, With on effort level Hyman added to that. Maybe even Perry is getting up there. There haven't been a lot in anycase Arvid is doing exactly what he should now, presently, and if you check my history in a search I used to be high on the player. It ain't no hate thing.
I hated the offseason. I think the money was better spent elsewhere. I was a vocal opponent of the whole offseason.
2 seasons ago I appreciated what Viktor could bring to a lineup. I'm not as sold now.
Look, worst possible result is Arvid being better than yama in the role. but that ain't big shoes and he's getting 4M of cap that we just didn't have to toss around.
Best possible would be breaking 40-50pts and that ain't much playing with Drai one of the best players in the world.
The player hasn't been solid. He's been falling down an awful lot. he even cost us the first GA game before doing that.
