Honestly, I havnt even looked at his numbers. I've always viewed him as underwhelming.. but nothing to substantiate it tbqh.. perhaps just the Schenn reputation, largely created by his brother and perhaps more so the Toronto media/fans/discussions of Luke being a plug.. an overpayed plug at that... I guess I seen him as schenn plug v2.0.
But looking at his numbers, my opinion has been far off.
Using the Lucic comparison for numbers and $$ is actually quite close. Sure two totally different styles, size and what they bring to the table but.. a helluva lot closer than Monny.
One thing CP has taught me, even though I'm the more knowledgeable hockey fan in my circle.. in the CP circle, there's a learning opportunity.
Some people do need to realize this about themselves as well.
One thing I learned early on. You may have a fast car, but there will always be faster. You maybe a good driver, but there will always be better. Constantly trying to prove fate wrong in these cases will lead to an accident. Check your pride, you're not better than anyone.. it's what I'm living my life by..
