The doubling down will make it funnier in the long run. Well done.

People never learn to just chill on players who've literally never scored at this pace in their entire career.

I don't think the thought is he'll definitely be a P/G player this year, just that he'll be well worth his contract.

6’6” BBFG (Belarusian Big Friendly Giant) drafted in the 3rd round in 2019. C/W with impressive touch for a big man and high hockey IQ, but initially a brutal skater.
Signed last season to one of those ‘potential-based’ extensions that have become en vogue with GM’s lately.
He made huge strides (get it) working on his skating and lower body strength over the summer and is much more explosive this year. Not a big hitter but uses his frame and reach well in the corners and winning puck battles. Is skating on the top line with Ovi and Strome and is a big part of why that line’s been an analytics darling so far.
Don’t think anyone expects him to be an all star or to maintain a ppg pace but he has the potential to be one of the better value contracts in the league.
Also, his younger brother Ilya was a 3rd round pick of WSH last draft and so far has 10g,7a in 11gp for Windsor in the OHL.
