  2. Yes, I know he still has quite a few issues to work out, but I’m super happy to see my guy put points on the board again, I believe in him

  3. It’s one game, I’m going to reserve my judgement for now. Always happy to beat the Ducks, especially by a lot, but this game is an anomaly at the moment.

    All I’m saying is yes let’s enjoy the win, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

    Oh and what makes it all that much sweeter is seeing Calgary beat Edmonton 😂

  4. He’s fine.

    But we’re watching a new generation of young guys take over the league, who are on a whole ‘nother level offensively while he and all our other young guys, bar maybe Kempe, are producing nowhere near them and don’t seem to have the elite offensive skillset needed for the NHL in 2025.

    And we don’t have a system or team that could maximize anyone offensively, even if we had these guys.

    And a lot of those guys are way younger.

    Kempe is really our only draft pick that has been a grand slam since our cup seasons.

    You can’t be competitive if you can’t draft and develop elite talent.

    Posts like this are such copium. I get it tho. But he’s going to be halfway to 30 in a couple years and is 5 seasons in and doesn’t seem to be making much progress towards becoming who we hoped he would be.

    Meanwhile the Ducks have 5 guys 25 and under, including a defenseman providing at worst about equal production and at best are proving themselves to be elite, plus another guy they traded away.
