But he's 5'10"!I just want to say that Jack Hughes is posting the highest PPG ever in the USNTDP at 1.933. The second closest is Phil Kessel who is at 1.671 in 73 games while Jack is currently at 60 games. There are rumours he's going to stay in the USNTDP for another season and if he plays another 60 games at the same pace (which is possible due to maturity, stronger body, etc.), he would finish with 232 points which would absolutely destroy Keller who leads the record with 189 points.

What adds additional spice to the fresh words from Alfredsson, of course, is that he remains close with Karlsson.
Two weeks ago, when he was inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame in Denmark, Alfredsson was asked about Karlsson’s plans.
“To me, he says that he wants to stay,” he said. “But it’s not all in his hands.”
There are sens fans who believe Matt is better than Stamkos. I don't even. This trade was bad for them the moment it got announced and it just got worst since with the way their season went. Since then:
- Sens begin a tail-spin which saw them drop right into the basement despite strong play from EK, Stone, and Duchene
- Bowers looks to be more than they thought they had in him
- Boucher returns along with his entire staff
- Dorion and Melnyk address the public at the Capital, completely putting the ball in EK's court in an attempt to make him look like the bad guy if he leaves by saying "We will give him a competitive offer, and that is all we can do", and effectively preparing the public for what looks to be a trade involving EK
- Alfie's comments which will likely start a public war with Melnyk and possibly put more distance between EK - who is good with Alfie - and the organization
- Reports about Melnyk wanting to get rid of Ryan even at the expense of ruining the EK return
- Hoffman possibly being on the market
- Toxic relationship between the fanbase and the club
Bowers is of so little concern it's not even funny.
He hasn't even played a game in the NHL yet.
He has raised his stock, has played admirably well as a freshman and looks to be trending in the right direction, I personally think - of course, I could be wrong - this is not how Sens saw him progressing this season. Furthermore, the team traded for a marginal upgrade at center and in the process gave up what is the equivalent of two 1st round picks.

You guys have only see the "good Matt", wait until you see the "bad Matt". You shouldn't expect him to be a ppg player he was towards season's end. He is hot and cold, when he's hot he is scorching, when he is cold he is cold as ice, we've seen this song and dance every season here. And no this is not me dumping on a guy who left the team, almost everyone here can vouch I hadn't held his mental game to a high regard, often calling him a mental midget for how he handled himself when things weren't going exactly how he planned.
I think he is better than Turris, but nowhere near the two 1st rounders your GM gave up for him.

If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.It's more than a marginal upgrade, and if that pick ends up in the 20's like Dorion thought then the price to upgrade is one most Sens fans would pay.
