Tyler is a good young player that people gave up on like Bear it’s maybe time to show some faith in our prospects
Maybe I wasnt paying attention but how could anyone give up faith on Bear. Guy was a beast in WHL, had a great audition in the NHL as a 20 YO briefly and had some solid AHL seasons
Bear always seemed to have a significant edge over Jones to me eye and mind.
In my opinion there is little to no difference between Bear and Jones in terms of who will have a better nhl career.

Tolvanen was what Hfoil wanted but everyone and their dog knew Oilers were targetting Yamamoto.. as they knew of Eberle.I was so ticked off when we selected Yams. There were a couple players I would have taken over him at the time. He has certainly been one of our best players since his call up. Happy to be wrong on this...loving what he brings so far
For whatever reason, people lose faith in prospects when they don't make it to the NHL at age 20 EVEN when they know it should take prospects around 2 years in the AHL. I've seen this ongoing cycle for a decade on these boards now lol. Now we're seeing Bouchard and Samorukov go through the same thing. People will probs think they're busts by the end of the year or nextMaybe I wasnt paying attention but how could anyone give up faith on Bear.

Lol hasn’t every player after him dropped off?I was so ticked off when we selected Yams. There were a couple players I would have taken over him at the time. He has certainly been one of our best players since his call up. Happy to be wrong on this...loving what he brings so far
After injury Bears play did take a hit so I think people were concerned that it was going to stunt his growth as a player. He instead busted his ass in the summer.Maybe I wasnt paying attention but how could anyone give up faith on Bear.

I hope he starts to get some more pucks on net. 10 shots in 7 games doesn't project well for long-term success.
It's just a lack of confidence. He's trying really hard to pass to Nuge and especially Draisaitl, playing the role of a complimentary player. When he starts to gain more confidence he'll shoot more. I'm not worried at all.
I'm glad Yamamoto is proving me wrong.
I feel like Benson has to come up after the break. He’s been well ripened and we have to give him a serious look before we go into the deadline.How good is Yams feeling right now? Instead of 4 games with the Condors over the next couple weeks, he gets to chill and collect his NHL paycheques
Benson on the other hand. THe ripening must go on!
