Give credit where credit is due. Your hypocrisy is making the fanbase look bad. |
Sorry bud but for a guy taken 25th in the draft I need to see more than one season before I am willing to call him an elite scoring winger.
If he comes back next year and gets 30 again then I will gladly concede that.
Where a guy is drafted surely comes into play. The fact Bennett is not a star player at 21 has people calling him an outright bust because he was taken 4th overall.
If Boeser was a consensus top pick and then performed at this level I would say he is an elite scoring winger (like I say about Laine). Since he was a later pick he needs to show me one more time before i am convinced.
Maybe Tavares is convinced after 62 games?
Also Bennett into a top 6 forward is different than calling Boeser an elite scoring winger.
