They should collect those to make bisque.

That should probably change because the word generational comes once a generation. Elite players make up 1 position of 3 on first lines. Maybe 2 if you're lucky.

So youre basically saying there is maybe 30 first line players in the league? out of the 93 that play the positions.

I’m saying many D prospects can be top 4 & few C’s are true 1C’s but many can be a 2C. Many are played as a 1C by default but are elite 2C’s. Wingers vary & snipers become 1st liners getting PP goals/pts. Few are play drivers other than Kane & Panarin. Marchand is the best example of a do it all winger.

Summary: 1st liners are difference makers & a threat any time on the ice. So maybe 50-60 imo are true elite 1st liners.

Hopefully he's got more then just hype behind him like Aatu Raty.

After world juniors last year, I couldn't understand how Raty was touted as a potential first overall pick.

I don't know how Bob and scouts put him in there top 10 this year.
- manvanfan

Bob does consensus only but I 100% agree.

Alex Steen is going to retire. 1 year left at 5.75. Probably just LTIR for the year. Cap space for STL.

I'm thinking that Luo doesn't deserve the ring of honour for his cap recapture penalty.
- manvanfan

Agree about Luongo. He pissed me off.

@ Nighthawk.

Is your Twitter handle Burrows Girl? She was just on Twitter asking for Burrows to be the new coach to replace Manny.

It would explain a lot of things if it was.

I don’t Twit lol

For retiring?

Was joking

Side note: I deleted my Twitter the other day, after reading all the pure stupidity regarding the Holtby supposed mask controversy I just couldn't continue. It's purely by chance humans somehow got to the top of the food chain FFS.

Not to sound condescending but in a forum of the masses it’s too crazy & silly to be around.

The good thing about Twitter it has an Unfollow , Mute , or Block option

It’s pretty easy to skip past all that, just like in here. You can’t tell me you read every post in here?

Yes it was needless for all concerned. I get it helped the Panthers & why I am miffed about it. He didn’t care about the effect on the Canucks.

"I haven´t received an official invitation yet but NHL appears to be strating soon. So I think my flight ticket comes soon and I might not be on Christamas at home." said Lukas today after rewarding his coach (who coached him in Liberec) with two points for giving him ice time.

Not at all, I've been following all the protocols. Today is the best I've felt in a week, it's more than just a flu.

Get well soon, but please stay away from Lakeshore Dr & City Gym

Promising so maybe is a future 4C for us with all the skill set we need if he pans out.

I'm just wondering what the standards are for deciding who is and isn't a first line player in the league? Score 30 goals and 70 points? You got to hit someone at 2.68 p/60. Must have 1.02 avg SH TOI per game.

The top 31 centers in the league are the top 31 centers. Whether they are elite or not makes no difference.

Top C on their teams yes but many of those teams are far from contending which a 1C is a major part of it. Add a true top D & that team usually can go deep as long in goal it doesn’t stop them. Depth at C is huge and it starts with a true top C to start it all.

Scoring 30 & getting 70pts is great but how many of those ride the coattails of others & pad srats on the PP? The Skinner & Laine of the world don’t drag teams to success.

They'll have to power through it. If they don't feel safe they should stay home.

Glad you are feeling better.

When retiring, should anyone care if they care about the effect of your current or past employer?
I sure as fu ck don't.
