He's less purely talented... about the same IQSo he's Rambo Santa?

IMO that puts the hope way too high... Taylor plays like a dumber, less talented version of Miles Wood. If we get an AHL Miles Wood out of Taylor, that's a huge win for his development.
You have to understand, as an Avs fan I want to set expectations higher so I can be more disappointed.Hahahaha no. Rob Niedermayer was no star but he was a tremendously good defensive forward. Even I know Taylor Makar ain't that.

Nah, on this board, we aim low so we’re never disappointed
Naw, hope always springs eternal around here. I'm old enough to remember when we thought Michael Sgarbossa was going to be an impact player for the Avs. Also Ryan Stoa because he had to be better than Paul Stastny, right?
There was a whole series of players who got called up and suddenly produced that year IIRC, it was weird.Don’t forget Brandon Yip
Davey Jones gave us some hope as well.There was a whole series of players who got called up and suddenly produced that year IIRC, it was weird.
Well he was a legitimately good player whose knees were made of jello. But, like Marek Svatos, he was very good when healthy.Davey Jones gave us some hope as well.

Sgarbossa was so damn close... just a guy that didn't have that extra kick in his skating to really stick in the role and he wasn't gritty enough for a bottom 6 role. Just a classic tweener. Credit to him though, he's an elite AHL player and he's been playing well in DC lately.Naw, hope always springs eternal around here.

Jones was legit but injuries did him in.Man, we sure loved our Yips, Sgarbossas and Jones.

Not often, but you know
Need to get Nuke some lessons with Iron Mike.I’m just saying, Rants is the perfected version of Wolski. The Avs need to find the perfected version of Stewart to pair with Mitts
I assume the closest thing to a "perfected" version of Stewie is Lawson Crouse.I’m just saying, Rants is the perfected version of Wolski. The Avs need to find the perfected version of Stewart to pair with Mitts
That's why Rants is the perfected version of Wolski. Pretty much the same style, but just more effective.I assume the closest thing to a "perfected" version of Stewie is Lawson Crouse.
Rants is better than Wolski. Rants can get away with a less-than-stellar effort, Wolski never could.
Ohhhhhh Wojtek. If only you cared enough. Likely a franchise player and surefire HOFer by now.
Looks like we found our Nuke replacementDecided to give this a bump after his first game with 2 goals, an apple and +4.
Was it the bump?Looks like we found our Nuke replacement
Or he had a good game?Looks like we found our Nuke replacement
