Why are you calling those guys exceptions? The exceptions are guys who jump into the nhl early and dominate right away like Tkachuk and Monahan. The vast majority of NHLers take years to develop and most of them take steps forwards and backwards along the way. Lazar isn’t likely to be a finished product yet because of how young he is. A lot of NHLers weren’t even in the NHL yet at his current age.
Its crazy to me that some people think 23 year olds are finished improving. NHL history says most players still improve quite a bit after that age.

Come on man. You are exaggerating other people's positions to make an argument. I didn't say Lazar was finished improving. Corsi said specifically he "most likely" was not going to make it.
Lazar turns 24 in less than a month. You know what happens to
MOST 24 year olds playing in the AHL? They don't become impact NHLers. I am happy to provide examples if needed.
There are literally dozens of posts saying Lazar might still be an exception to this, even if unlikely. Yet you remain outraged?
