Seriously though, he is.

I mean Thompson is really good, and I guess it depends on how you classify a "Superstar". I think every team would love to have him in their lineup.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

One season where he wasn’t even top 10 in scoring and no playoffs appearance make him a superstar? I guess my criteria are too high.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Sabres being on 15 national games + Tage being a very exciting American to watch. I think there’s gonna be a huge media push on him this year

if Tage qualifies this is too many superstars for my liking tbh. That's just forwards.

Having said that the gap isn't terribly big among a lot of the top ~25 forwards but I feel like there needs to be more of a cutoff or we'd have like 30 superstars counting defensemen and goalies.

 

[Siludin]

He's a supersized star

 

[BayStBullies]

Shall we make a thread for each player?

 

[NyQuil]

Shall we make a thread for each player?

Knock yourself out.

 

[Ezekial]

Shall we make a thread for each player?

Better be safe and find a highlight video for it first.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Brook agrees.

I will take Tage before few of them.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Ouch, twice.

 

[LOFIN]

We'll see how he does this season

Who else can rob Pasta and Leon like that and score 5 goals in a game?

68pts 94pts this year 100??

Stay tuned

 

[Kupo]

 

[agent082]

Well, why not.

 

[Janvonpobben]

didnt he fell of a cliff last 30 games of the season?

 

[Aladyyn]

People always say it's hard to market hockey players because you never know what they'll be able to do on a given night. Tage does something ridiculous every game without fail and people don't want to call him a superstar...

So we need a thread for every superstar now? Where are the threads about McDavid being a superstar, Tkachuk being a superstar, Kaprizov being a superstar, etc? Sabres fan desperate for attention I guess.

 

[Three On Zero]

Superstar? No
Very good player? Yes

 

[Leonardo87]

Shall we make a thread for each player?

Please no. Lol

 

[Three On Zero]

Please no. Lol

Challenge accepted, for the turtles!

Probably the same in all sports:

G.O.A.T. > Trans-Generational > Multi-Generational > Generational > Superstar > Star > Local Star > Quality Player > Average Player > Body

G.O.A.T ..... Greatest of All Time (1)

Trans-Generational ..... Best player of all time who is not the G.O.A.T. (1)

Multi-Generational ..... Best player of at least two generations (< 5)

Generational ..... Best player of his prime (around 10 years) (< 10)

Superstar ..... Well-known to sports fans generally outside of hockey

Star .... Well-known to most hockey fans

Local Star ..... Well-known to fans of a particular team who would hate to lose him

Quality Player ..... Known to fans of a particular team who wouldn't want to lose him, but wouldn't shed too many tears if they did

Average player ... May have some local fans; they come and go over the years

Body ..... Fills out the roster, hardly anybody notices his presence or absence or really even cares

I like this breakdown, if he repeats last year then he’s a star
