And how is all that translating to the NHL ? I'm happy people are happy with a average player at the 2nd overall pick.. I wanted more


OK who would you trust game 7 ROR of Sam ? That's what I thought

- GERBE!!!75PTS


23 x 30 = 690 players in the NHL.
Sam was 107th overall in scoring. (that's top 16%)
And lets say you take away 2 goalies and 7 dmen from every roster, that's 9 x 30 =270. 690 - 270 = 420 forwards.

107/420 = top 25% of all forwards.

THIS IS NOT AVERAGE.

The definition of insanity is do the same thing and expect different results.

Trying to reason with Gerbe about Reinhardt falls into this Catagory... I just hope we have Sam on our team for 20 years so its painful for him that long.

FACTS HAVE NO PLACE HERE.... LOL

What about the other 8 ahead of him now ? People act like its OK for a 2nd overall pick to under achieve

What happens if we didn't draft Jack ? People would agree

But fortunately, that's not the case.

We would be Arizona and things would be TERRIBLE

That said, right now we got a second line winger in the first round (reinhart) with a ceiling to go higher. Could we have made a better pick? Yeah. But we didn't make a bad pick

54th in scoring among wingers. And there are two on every line.

What's your point?

He's not a 2nd line center, because he doesnt play center?
