Yes, he's pretty good. But the prior claim, which I'm questioning, is the claim that Liljegren is currently showing ELITE offensive potential. In response
@Atomos2 has suggested that Rielly had slightly better International Competition, but he ended up with 50 points this year.... it seems as a response suggesting that Rielly is ELITE offensively, and was only slightly better than Liljegren at the same age, so then Liljegren must be showing ELITE potential too.
Rielly has been damned good for us, but ELITE? No, I don't think he's anywhere near ELITE, but yes, pretty good. Same with Liljegren. He's shown much better defensively than expected, but I don't think ELITE offensive skills yet. A number of posts above, I've shown what ELITE like stats were, for players at 19 and 20, as rookies in the AHL, so that we can compare this coming season, for Lilly's second AHL season.
The only thing in question, is the term ELITE. No argument on the term, pretty good, very good... agree on that. Just not ELITE.
