I wasn't making an argument, i was stating that i highly doubt Bergeron was as bad as Horton at the beginning. This highlights a point you have already made about their consistency,
I know Horton lacks consistency and that is why i have said Bergeron is the better player as of now. When Horton learns to be more consistent and learns to shoot more (He has an awesome shot) he'll be dominant. Horton is a RW so the faceoff comparison is pointless. Horton has played on the RW since he made the Panthers at 18. He isn't a center anymore. Horton is never gonna be a great defensively player, but then Bergeron is never going to be a powerfoward.
As for Dustin Brown, i'd take Horton over him without even thinking. Horton is my far the more talented of the two. Brown is a good player and he hits more but he won't produce like Horton will IMO.
Very well said.
As for the Brown thing...I've been a massive Dustin Brown fan for a long, long time. He's an Upstate boy, and I've always loved his style of play. But Horton is definitely better than Brown is.
For what it's worth, Brown and Horton are actually two of my favorite players in the league right now...
I still remark about how scary good the '03 draft is. You can't make a top 5 list without leaving a bunch of great players out.
Absolutely. Just incredible.
