Lafreniere is still very young. Lots of runway left to perform. Stamkos looked very mediocre for a couple years, even Mackinnon got some heat in the first few years. I was among those that enjoyed bringing up the point deficit between Mackinnon and Monahan at one point for e.g.
Way too early to count Laf out, though his skating has been exposed at this level. Baffling to can wright when he hasn't even been drafted yet lol... and for the record the scouting reports on him are in the Patrice Bergeron mold rather than a heavy point producer.
