he isnt..but its a classic case of the oilers annoitning someone as a super star before they are one.. if u say it enough times.. its true.?? oiler players and oiler teams have to prove they aren't good.. everyone else has to prove they are...

Not saying they are comparable but there is definitely a statistical argument to be made on the surface.
i dont know... think so..?? thats not much of a statistical argument.. lots of players have good playoff runs.. thats very bottom barrel comparison...

hello strange brew, how are u
you probably are in the minority.. because its not about how good lucic is in years 1 or two.. its about how much of an anchor that contract is when the big mans body breaks down in the later years... most ppl thought he'd be good this year.. but its year one of many years...

and was he that good away from mcdavid..? dont think so but cant remember...

take care.
