perhaps. Of course, he was probably a sixth-rounder before he was the AHL rookie of the year, picked because he had some potential, but also some flaws, like most lower picks. After he raised hopes as the ROY, he had to be somewhat of a disappointment. He did get his cup of coffee with the Stars, with games in parts of 4 seasons, with one season totaling 53 games.
Perhaps more importantly to this discussion, his ROY stats were 75 games, 27G-38A-65 Points, vs, RD's 36 games, 11-25-36, and somehow, a few here are calling our forward pool one of our best ever. C macs GPG was slightly better in his ROY year, .36 to .31.
There are a lot of players whose shot is just a tick below what NHL goalies can stop regularly.
