Is he going to be a great player? Almost certainly. Is he going to be a star player? We'll see what level.

But many fans still seem to think that he will be a generational player. I know a lot of fans here thought he would be better than McDavid, before he was drafted. Personally, I never saw that - maybe something more like a Kucherov or a Kane.

But almost 2 years later? The progression hasn't been what one would expect for a star, let alone a generational player. 0.90 PPG last year (definitely star-tracking) but then 0.78 this year - regression, and disappointing. Yes, I know he's on a crappy team, but young players put up points on crappy teams, every year.

I don't think he's ever going to be a top player in the league, more like a top 10 for points, maybe topping out at something like a Pastrnak level - great, but not what many are expecting/seeing.

Just my opinion.

Kucherov is at same level as McDavid.
