Regardless. Look at your very own Leon Draisaitl. 80% of the dorks on this forum had him written off as a bust by Christmas. All of six months later, and he's the toast of the boards. Mr. MVP.
When Strome put up six points in the final OHL game to take the scoring title, folks went nuts. He was the clear cut number three pick overnight. Almost as quickly, when his scoring dried up in the OHL final, he's the whipping boy. The top five's toxic asset that no one wants to touch. It's absurd.
He had 8pts in 5gms against Sarnia. 8pts in 6gms against SSM. He burned out against Oshawa and had one bad series. So he sucks. It's HF, man. That's how it works. You are exactly as good as the last game you played on National television.
