Clayton Keller ceiling

[amnesiac]

11 goals 17 points on the season.... absolute stud.

I can just imagine the amount of threads if the kid was playing on a Canadian team.

How good can/will he be? (comparable)

Better than.....?

Better than Marner worst than Gaudreau

 

[Arizonan God]

Better than Marner worst than Gaudreau

I honestly think he has the potential to be better than both.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

What ceiling? Kid's insane..

 

[CanadienShark]

Hard to place a ceiling on him. He was my 2nd favourite player in his draft. I was livid when the Yotes got to take him - I wanted him on the Habs at the time.

 

[Leronziia]

He's unreal.

Ceiling is Kane.

 

[93LEAFS]

He can be Patrick Kane level good, whether he reaches that is another question. He's a had a strong start to his career, but it's going to take more than 16 games for me to dramatically change my opinion on him.

Agreed. I will say his skating has improved immensely over the past year, which is something I didn't expect so quickly. His shot is much heavier as well. Either he had a great off-season or his physical maturity took another step.

Kid's doing pretty good so far. Think he levels out as a consistent 70-80 point a year player.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Watching this kid it's pretty easy to see him as a PPG player in the future.

As far as ceiling goes, tough to say.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Keller is a phenomenal talent and gifted offensive player.

He is another fine player that is part of a very deep and terrific rookie crop this year.

Patrick Kane is often used as a comparison, often incorrectly, but I made this comparison a year before he was drafted as he was one that truly reminded me of Kane more than any other player. He has this type of potential.

Great for Coyote fans. Very happy for them.

 

[Ezekial]

Insane in the membrane.

Just an absolute stud.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

People got mad when I said I think he'll have a similar rookie season to what Marner had last season.

Yep its very unfortunate. I had a bet giving me 1300$ the only thing i needed left was habs drafting keller. I blame it on columbus who drafted PLD wich delayed every pick, oilers would of drafted a dman. Pretty sure keller would of been an habs.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Will he eventually be moved to center, or do Yotes fans think he'll stay on wing?

 

[Evergreen]

Ceiling is Kane on an individual level. Will need more support in AZ to get there though.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

He does this with everything. I try not to engage.

You notice this too. I think we all know and thanks for the advice!

Probably stay wing unless his faceoff ability improves.

This kid is sick, he could be a top 10 player in the league

 

[Paralyzer]

Not that I think it's impressive (which it is) but the same thing happened when Hertl came out of no where and was tearing it up. I'll be impressed if he keeps it going through the season. I just hope Arizona doesn't wear on the kid and he becomes complacent.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

#11 on the year. Created the turnover himself, made the right decision, wanted to pass, but shot and scored the goal. #beauty

That's just disgusting.

He is fueled by pure adrenaline right now. He has had one okay game, the rest stellar. He creates almost 100% of his own offense and hasn't let the losing funk rub off on him. He keeps games entertaining by himself.

I'm not really fond of NHL comparables but he does look like a literal clone of Kane.

 

[John Pedro]

Probably better than Patrick Kane.
