He's been a 60+ point player for 5 years (including this one), and 70+ for 3 years. Last season 92 points and this year on pace for 100+.

Considering the team around him the first few seasons I don't think it took him long at all. Helluva player.

I guess he just seems to fall under the radar for a top player, probably the least talked about, IMO

Scheifle, Huberdeau, Couturier, Landeskog. Not as bad as the Yakupov draft but yikes. That said wasn’t Nugent-Hopkins pretty much a consensus 1st overall?

Yeah he was tiny. As I said he’s a decent player but the first guys I listed are all substantially better and legit first lovers as well. RNH is a decent 2nd line centre, but you’d expect more from a 1st overall pick.... guess Yakupov was a fair bit shittier as a 1 overall.

Is there a coaches union? If there isn’t, it’s beginning to be about time they get one.
