More of an assist guy then the sniper he was originally billed as. A lot of hype. A good player. But not a difference maker or a James Neal type that some thought he would be. I mean there is still time. But the pedestrian Fan cries foul over his ice time like he is Tarasenko.
He was literally NEVER billed as a sniper.
I thought all Russians were lazy snipers?

Just showing how pedestrian we all are with comments like theseI don't know where you're pulling this sniper stuff out of, because I've always seen him called a playmaker, not a huge goalscorer. Also, he's on pace for a 52 point season in 82 games, despite being 10th among F's in 5v5 TOI per game (with at least 11 games played)
And cherepanov wasn't a sniper either tbh...he was both a playmaker and a goal scorer...but not with a bullet of a shot or anything.Maybe he's confusing him with Cherepanov?
He's just trying to be affableIt’s supposed to be likable but my mind keep processing Pruitt Taylor Vince with a left claw
*****enevich isn't the enforcer he was billed to be.
edit: ok apparently you can't say *****e
I can actually agree with the idea that some fans have blind spots to and underrate some of his flaws.Overrated by Ranger fans

Was that an original "crazy Eddie" snapshot?Those of us that are older and from the NY area would know who i am referring to.
I dont care much for "labels" per sé. I am labeled as a nice guy.......but anyone that REALLY knows me......would beg to differ, as I proceed with.........stop begging, you are old enough to steal!I can actually agree with the idea that some fans have blind spots to and underrate some of his flaws.
Everyone points to his ceiling a little too often for me considering not every prospect reaches their ceiling.
I figured I'd shake it up a bit bc I feel bad piling on (even though you bring it on yourself)
An entirely fair point despite pulling the sniper comment out of the depths of delusion.
