I thought Eichel had a shot at breaking the Sabres all time points record... even making a case for best in the 15’ draft... oof
It's okay Sam I forgive youI was positive that Curtis Lazar had 30goal upside and would be a the Sens captain after his WJC.
In all fairness he did set some scoring records at the Hlinka (I think?). The Sens scouts said at the draft he had an amazing and heavy shot that hes going to score a lot with when they were interviewed at the draft.
And the kid looked not out of place whatsoever playing role of Hyman to Matthews when he rode shotgun to McDavid and captained the WJC gold medal winning team. He was FAR more of a complete player that had more to offer other than high energy and some body checks.
And I was pretty vocal here about my belief in him, and rather dismissive of anyone who saw him as the 4th liner that he is...
This right here. I really thought he would give McDavid a run for his money.I thought Eichel had a shot at breaking the Sabres all time points record... even making a case for best in the 15’ draft... oof
Wana trade?Seeing Nate struggle after his rookie season I finally succumbed to the idea that Monahan > MacKinnon.
6 months later and I was quickly proven wrong. Now more than ever.
That Cale Makar was leagues better than Wuinn Hughes
Rangers fans wanted to make a huge trade offer for Nathan MacKinnon before he broke out and I called him a "glorified 55-point player."
In retrospect, said trade probably would have been a solid one.
For the Rangers Pionk was absolute garbage and showed almost no upside so I still don’t care for him. I’d make the trade again. He’s improved since but he’s getting a bit overrated. Every time I watch the Jets he stands out negatively and don’t see what the hype is. I still think he regresses once Winnipeg gets competent NHL defensemen aside from Pionk and Morrissey

Vinny was the league's best player for a brief period.A couple of things off the top of my head, I thought the Kings rebuild was stalling out before the went on their first Stanley Cup run that very season and always thought Vincent Lecavalier had the higher ceiling than Joe Thornton from a big man + talent point of view.
I remember stating that Puljujarvi would end up having a better career than Laine.
It seemed ludicrous for a while. Maybe next year it can be reclassified as a hot take. And I'm rooting for Jesse to make it beyond a hot take.
