People need to get over themselves. Defensemen develop slower. Let alone with this franchise.
(Disclaimer: I fully understand defenseman take longer to develop and agree with everything said above. This is simply a vent.)
I'd argue it's the exact opposite with this franchise. All our top end defenders seem to have their best year during their rookie season going back to Myers. It's just that this team then decides to then crown them the new 1D and ride them into the ground with absolutely no vetern support at 19/20. Then they burn out, don't progress and we draft the next 1D. The former then gets delt and we go through the process once again. I mean we're still asking for that vet impact on the backend even now with all the supposed high end pieces we have (and no I'm not talking EJ type guys). Yes Power should continue to grow and learn, but I wouldn't be shocked if rookie season Power is close to the best version of him we'll see as long as he's on this team.
I need ANOTHER break from this team.
