Not at all, he's a surefire top 6 forward .. IMHO, he isn't the Franchise player fans made him out to be.
That's also taking into consideration many pundits predicting he'd be a Taylor Hall type player.

:laugh: I actually laughed out loud reading the title :laugh:

How can a prospect be a bust in his first NHL season???

Sure, his stats are disapointing (he was hyped as a guy who could do well right off the gates after all), but he's still playing at the NHL level

Wait......WHAT?

Halfway through a season with basically no meaningful training camp? And he looks a little underwhelming?????

Look at the jump Jack Hughes took. It's WAY too early to call him a bust. WAY, WAY too early,

Give the guy at least 2 proper nhl seasons. He’s just getting his feet wet in the NHL, he’s been playing better, albeit from the highlights I’ve seen, and he’s been getting a couple of points now. I have a feeling he will end up at around a .5 ppg.

Way too early.

Stamkos scored 46 points in 82 games.

Laf can go on a hot streak and be at least .5 PPG.

Horrible analogy. Stamkos also showed lots of promise and potentia in small bursts. I dont watch Rangers but from what Ive read Laf is just not working out pretty much at all so far.

Same could be said for Jack Hughes tho and hes looking a lot better this season. Sure Hughes might not be the best #1 OA but hes a Top 6 player on many teams and has real potential for 1C.

Way too early to tell about Laf but hope isnt lost until hes 21 and still producing at a 3rd-4th line level
