How are we still in this game?
Wtf? Do you not understand that playing in the NHL at a young age does not equal having a great career? And those players you mentioned were projected to have more upside than Lias. It just took them a little longer to get to the NHL. It happens, but it really doesn’t mean s**t. For example, Barzal took a little longer to get to the NHL than Lias, so does that mean Lias is better? Come on, dude. This is basic stuff.He played pro hockey since he was 17. He was one of the instrumental players to HV71's SHL championship at the age of 18. He led his team at the World Juniors and was their best forward.
You said there is a slim chance of him developing at age 20. I still have to see what this is based on. Not even McDavid reached his ceiling at age 20. It's just an ignorant statement based on a disappointing performance in the NHL at age 20. Again, Couture, Scheiffele, Kadri, Granlund, Niederreiter. Schenn etc didn't even play in the NHL at that age.
This is true and to my knowledge, we're the only team that had him 1OA.Pettersson was who they really desired.
It was a hyperbole. I meant almost anyone.Alright then
Nice that he showed in the 3rd.

We had EP 1st? I know we really liked him but I didn’t know we had him 1stThis is true and to my knowledge, we're the only team that had him 1OA.
So that's a feather in their cap.
I don’t fault MAF on that. That was a hell of a shot.MAF in the crunch time.. are you surprised because I’m not

Yea, but doing well in a professional league does not mean it will translate the NHL. Look at some of the players that have great seasons in the KHL, but come here and don’t do as well.Andersson is not the one who played junior hockey. He played professionally.
