Ohhhh you got me good didn't you! So childish smh
There's a forum in the Polls section where I have a discussion with another guy who did not have as positive an outlook on Borgstrom. Only it was civil. Why? Because he had logical and cogent positions. I tend to be offended by illogical arguments.
Nice cliches. Seems like maxims appeal to you most.
Please, help me remember where Jack Eichel played before the NHL. Oh, and are you aware that the NCAA is inarguably a higher level of play than juniors? In the meantime, I would like you to meet some of my friends. Zach Werenski, Brock Boeser, Alex Tuch, Nick Schmaltz, or no no, let's go this route. Johnny Gaudreau, Jaden Schwartz, Anders Lee, Shayne Gostisbehere, Brock Nelson, Torey Krug, Blake Wheeler, James Van Reimsdyk, TJ Oshie, David Backes, Zach Parise, Joe Pavelski, Derek Stepan, Jack Johnson, Matt Niskanen, Ryan McDonagh, no no, let's go back to newer guys, Jake Guentzel, Andrew Copp, Will Butcher, JT Compher, Charlie McAvoy, Luke Kunin. A "normal" path to the NHL, what even is that? People can come from dozens of different channels. But what is for sure, there are many NHL stars who spent multiple years in the NCAA, there are many who spent years in juniors as well. Your ignorance does not excuse your misinformation.
How is your being misinformed and illogical better than us being biased? You referred to the idea that I might be Finnish earlier, I'm not. But even let's just say I have a bias in favor of him. He worked for me once in a department store and we became friends over beers (not true, but we'll suppose). How is that worse than you spouting off incoherent and misguided arguments? You know that the vast majority of first rounders from his draft who went the NCAA route are still in the NCAA? A few left early and ironically some those individuals have been struggling. Luke Kunin spent two years, who knows if he would have benefited from a third but he certainly isn't what was expected of him going into the season. Neither has Jost or Keller lived up to expectations. Do you also have problems with Dante Fabbro? Logan Brown? Dennis Cholowski? Riley Tufte? Trent Frederic? Do you have issues with Andrew Peeke? Wade Allison? Dylan Gambrell? And even if you dislike one of those, is it because they're still in the NCAA? Probably not, or you'd have to dislike all of them and particularly for that reason.
Borgstrom is a non-traditional prospect, sure, I can buy that. But all the problems you are listing are characteristic to traditional routes. If he's a prospect going a traditional route, then what's your problem again?
