Basically, if you were going up to the podium on draft day in the 2nd round and you knew that the guy on the board would have 36 points in his first 176 games, would you still take him even if his junior stats were good?
Not the end of the world I just don't like the trade. |
I think the answer would be a definite yes. 176 games, even if the production is disappointing, is still very good for a 21 year old.
Go back and look at the much heralded 2013 draft. There aren't many 2nd rounder that have played that much.
He still has plenty of upside and is already a border-line NHLer at worst.
