oh no doubt. ill readily admit that its a crapshoot with prospects so all we have are the leading indicators such as their performances pre and post draft. im not overly hyped on tippetts projections, but i could easily end up wrong and he could even be a 40 goal scorer if the stars align for him. i just think its a longshot and my concern is for the cup window which was all i was trying to explain here. i just dont see how he'll be a part of it. he might catch the tail end of it in the 4th year, but i think we'd have better value adding star scorers now so they can contribute to the entirety of the window.
Malgin is on pace for around 15 goals in his 1st/2nd full year, probably 20 if he was in top 6 all year and injury free so why is it so hard to see the skill and speed in Tippett to not be good for 20-25 within 2 years and possibly 30 in his 3rd year?
If you're holding out for that 40 goals then I'd agree and say you're right the odds are against him but that goes for like ~90% of the league.
