Late bloomers include Brassard? A beast of a rookie who was looking like a Calder lock before his season-ending injury? Great comparables there.

And again, it's not just late bloomers but players who regressed. A player who improves each season until their early 20s makes sense and aren't hard to come by.

Why don't we look at comparables of players who were looked at as top 6, top liners even, early in their career based on their expectations but developed into energy support players? We don't need to talk about 100 point players like Jokinen in a Bennett thread.

Edit; Lol, I'm an idiot about Jokinen's early seasons ha.
