I see a couple of problems here. The first is that I've lately posted too many comments about this and have to let go a bit.
The second is that quite a few people here seem to have kind of short memories with these issues. Jesse was doing just fine (ppg/60 as good and even better than Matthews and Laine) before the last games and the strange treatment at the end of his NHL time. I emphasize one more time that this forum was excited about him and was pissed about why Jesse was taken away from the 1st line so soon and later put together with Caggiula and Pouliot, who at that stage hadn't got barely anything done offensively.
I understand if some people feel the AHL or WC scores give a reason to worry, but the short NHL stint should rather be quite promising. Based on how he played when he was trusted and the 1ppg (just 5on5) with McDavid, I just see those 35 point estimates very low.
