I would expect a generational talent like Michkov to not need this. I was told he was already better than Bedard, Caufield and countless others.
It's not bad as long as it's done to let the kid watch the game from above instead of playing it and let the kid focus his energy on training with the coaches between the games. If it's done to punish and to send a message then it can 100% be bad for the development. We have been there and we have done that. Communication is key in a situation like that. The kid needs to know and understand why he is being scratched while vets who are not doing better are not.
I feel like Buffalo are close to figure it out. So much skills in this group of young players.
More than one is plural. You have the entire internet to help you learn how grammar works.
Years are whole numbers; they are integers. A two year old turns three in January (1.08 of the way through the year) and in May (1.41 of the way through the year), it's just one year. Drinking age is the same thing, you don't round up or down, it's a certain age (eg. 18, 19, or 21) and that's it.
Only the Habs have development plans which sees all our players improve.
Well he's producing similarly to Bedard and Caufield this year. Nevertheless, I'm not sure where this "Michkovian" term comes from. Are you really going to be saying "HA I told you he wasn't generational" if he's "only" a 70-80 point winger instead of a 90 point player? Maybe let's wait and see what Reinbacher becomes before doing cartwheels that Michkov got scratched when he just got named rookie of the month.
So if it's 365.25 days and one second, you're still going to call that a couple years? Totally not disingenuous of you.
It's not that simple. Technically speaking one year doesn't exist. You pretty much never have exactly one year. You'll always have 1 years and a fraction of something (seconds, milliseconds, nanoseconds, ...). The earth move so fast that exactly one year goes by so fast you wont have the time to write one year on a piece of paper before it's over.
I hope not, and hopefully Tage Thompson is the next great player they trade like Eichel/ROR/Reinhart...etc.
Wasn’t Matthews a Selke finalist like last year? And advanced stats shows he has a good defensive game.
Yeah, but is it like Paul Coffey or Erik Karlsson winning the Norris? Not really defensive....just on the ice for more goals for than against? Just asking for a friend.
