Who didn’t? Lol

My point was that Stamkos wasn't a Zach Hyman, he was a star player in his own right.

But comparing Stamkos’ scoring rate to Ovechkin’s when Stammer had an established top playmaker in the league isn’t so straightforward.

I didn't make that comparison.

I just posted the statistical record.

Aslo no idea what you are bringing up anyways, Ovi wasn't playing with scrubs, just scroll the time period for PPP.

I pointed out how Stamkos and JT did as young prospects, which was actually really good, and then added Bedard as that's where the OP was going.

Michov will probably look really good in his first 4 or 5 year period as well but he also started as a D+ 2 for context.

Michkov is being taught to play the right way by teammates and Torts. And we are seeing him grow. He’s scoring while getting “tough love”.

I'm in favour of this provided that there's effective communication and positive reinforcement. Michkov seems to be in good spirits so I think the Flyers are handling this well.

Michkov is being taught to play the right way by teammates and Torts. And we are seeing him grow. He’s scoring while getting “tough love”. He’s developing into a complete player. I don’t know if Bedard is getting the same help with learning to play the right way. So his offensive numbers will be decent but is he ever going to be good defensively?
Imo young players need to learn like Michkov is learning, to play winning hockey.

The last time Torts actually won something Michkov wasn’t even born.
