I read in some post from earlier Pages, Borgstrom struggle here, Borgstrom struggle so he get used with other Players. borgstrom doesnt score enough and struggle.
Well he has five goals in 24 AHL games and just three are ES. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
I also think you're referencing this post. Note that it ends: "[Borgstrom] is showing his good hockey IQ and will have a good year."
He's fine, he's a prospect and it's a process - and he has repeatedly shown that he can dominate games, just hasn't done it consistently yet. I think it's mostly about tempering expectations of people who had him in the lineup on day one and were almost outraged to see him in the AHL. Still fully expect him to be a huge part of the Panthers in a couple years.
There's also the fact that expectations are higher for Borgstrom… and maybe that’s unfair, but that’s how it is. Like, if it was a kid like Bajkov or Ang putting up these numbers in their first AHL season, we’d be ecstatic, gushing about their huge potential and we wouldn’t care if it’s mostly PP points or if they are “not physical enough”. With Borgstrom we already know he has that potential. This is a guy who has repeatedly been ranked as a top ten NHL prospect – so if he doesn’t become at least a 60 point 2C, I’ll be disappointed. I don’t have anything near these expectations for any of our other AHL skaters - if we can get one or two third liners or a n.4 defenceman out of them, I'll be very happy.
