And what exactly should I have learned from that poll? The power of one of the league's worst coaches in recent memory to absolutely ruin a team and young star defensemen is just about the only thing that comes to mind. I'll give you that.
When I make the next one I'll probably limit it to top 15. Sounds about right. Have you seen the top 20? Still not better than Dahlin's 19yo season where he was I think 14th in ppg. Still had some Krueger stink on him that season too. Limiting the poll to 20 was and remains conservative, even 15-13 this year are only .02 above 19yo Dahlin.
The thread will kind of be fun to look back on with all of the people attempting to laugh at it coupled with how Dahlin will end the year and perform next year. 8pts in his last 9 games. If it was a full season he'd probably easily climb back into the top 20. If there was no Krueger from the start it would have been a breeze.
As for best D in the league next season, all I said was that it is a possibility not a guarantee. It is only a matter of time, and that time could be next season. He will be close though.
You aren't actually defending Krueger... are you? Sounds like you don’t know anything of the situation.
Yeah, Krueger was ruining him by asking him to actually, you know, not create offense. You know, the thing that actually makes him Dahlin (the best young and upcoming D in the league).
His system was garbage and it affected the whole team. It is easy to tell when you watch him now that he is going to be a special player.
