There is a difference between an ultra-talented player and a great player. HuGo knew the difference, most fans do not.
Too many fans only care about what a player has done lately. We are lucky that people that are this impulse don't have the power to make any decision as they would have no long term vision.

You’re referring to a prospect.

If you, Hughes, or my grandmother knew how prospects would turn out, the world would be a different place.

Yeah, I wouldn’t use Michkov’s expected and typical mid-season slowdown as any indication of how the rest of his career will flow. Calling him a future great or not-great based off a spate of form in his rookie season is asinine.

We saw Slafkvosky suffer an ignominious rookie season, and a somehow still bad first-half of a sophomore season, before he turned on the afterburners and looked alive and torched the league in the latter half of last season.

I’ve learned that it’s good to keep an even keel and remember talent doesn’t go away. I’m sure Philly fans know what they have with Michkov and want to see him get there.

It's always funny to see how different our board is from the laffs board. Their star has a chronic issue. Tavares is ageing out. Marner hasn't signed. It would be chaos here.

it would but the figs are used to this.
In fact they all live for the day, and plan the parade early in Oct. Next year is just another cup for them

Yeah, I guess you are right. It seems every year there is a looming disaster for them, and they come out of it just fine.

Jesse Puljujarvi on waivers today. Will he go unclaimed or get another chance somewhere?
We should take a flyer on him so we can collect every underperforming 6'4 guy in the league. Put them on a line together and they'll all suddenly not bust instead of the more obvious they will drag each other into oblivion.

I don't see him on the Habs either, no room right now. Some team with injuries or who see a role for him may take a flyer.
