Nobody can say anything for sure at this stage. You disagree about the hype and I disagree about your 30 pts ceiling. We just don't know how good he will be. What I would like to see from you to support your narrative is to find a similar example of a 18 year old who made the KHL and played very very well in the world juniors.... and then became the 30 pts ceiling guy you are trying to say he is?
Show me an example and I might change my mind. For now, it's all hope and hype and there are reasons for it. Nobody is saying anything for sure
oh I'll easily lay down and die on this one. I can't give you any examples. I'm not super invested in my position. I mean I think he can flirt with 40. Maybe I should've been clearer there. That's utterly fantastic from my view point. The hype I'm disagreeing with is really just a matter of degrees.
I don't think I'm saying anything crazy here and trust me I'm as hopeful and as optimistic as anyone. Plus it's not like I wasn't charitable in my original post but if people are thinking he's going to be a #1 or expecting 40+ points perennially in his prime you MAY be disappointed.
Who are the D men who've done what Romanov have done? I'm not being confrontational I'm genuinely curious. I'd like to see how he stacks up. The accomplishments definitely could definitely serve as evidence for high upside in and of themselves but when I actually look at his game I really don't see high end offense. Great stretch passes, booming shot. Not horribly creative in the O zone. Maybe that can still come. Better mitts and puck skills than I thought before the WJCs but still nothing that strikes me as elite offense.
