Exactly. And I don't think it will be in a year or two either. I think it has already begun and will equal about 72 pts next year. I love Scheif's play as much as anybody and I'm very optimisitic for it to continue. It doesn't look flukey to me although his sh% may be a little high.
That doesn't make Monahan and Barkov into good comparables for him. Find somebody who has been more nearly the same at the same age. IDK who, or care. There must be someone who is a better match. Those two have been a whole tier above Scheif and show no signs yet of tapering off.
No way Barkov and Monahan are a tier above Scheif. They are actually very good comparables. They are a bit younger. Barkov 2 years and Monahan 1 year but they are all young centers on the same tier. A year or 2 difference in developmental curve would be within a fairly normal range. All 3 are currently producing at remarkably similar rates. The tier above them are the elite guys, most of which are in the hearts of their primes. I think the Jets will be a bit fortunate that Scheif will be fairly agreeable to a fair contract.
