I'll agree and disagree. While you can say that he's just a solid all around offensive player, his playmaking ability for his age level, is elite IMO. Something has to be said about the fact that he was 2nd in scoring at the Under 17 Challenge, and first in assists.
I don't think the success of that line has anything to do with one particular player in particular, but more the fact that every member of it is playing outstanding hockey.
The one thing I always look for in 16 year old rookies is, how are they playing at the end of the season? Have they progressed, have they been learning and improving? Getting stronger, becoming more conditioned? And no question, Seguin has definitely improved.
To me, I don't see a whole lot of a difference between the way Matt Duchene played last season and the way Seguin is playing this season. And we are considering Duchene as a top 10 selection this year, so perhaps we have this same discussion about Seguin next year?
