He's already a 3rd line asset. Just a
marginal improvement and he would be a great 3rd liner. And a couple seasons? From a 21 year old?

As for the Taylor Hall argument saying that he got better after 250 games.
First 246 games (4 seasons) - 0.91ppg
Next 283 games (including this season) - 0.88ppg
Career 0.90ppg
Even if you include this years insane season, he got statistically worse after his first 250 games.

Here's another statistic: he is 21.
And 21 is a point from where the vast majority of players
do get better.
