Could Tkachuk pass Laine in a re-draft?

[FinnishSniper]

Not just Tkachuk

I still think keller could pass Laine

Is that so..?

Laine has 6 more goals than Keller has points

I knew this thread would go well for OP

This thread should be fun to watch as the season progresses.
With opinions and preference swinging like a pendulum depending on how each player is doing.

This thread was people not understanding that Patty's crappy performance was about as unustainable as Tkachuck's 22% shooting

 

[varano]

So are we still thinking that 40 point tkachuk is actually better than Laine?

I'll wait over here for answers....

 

[kylbaz]

Apparently there is no middle ground
October shooting Percentage = 6%
November shooting percentage = 35%

December should be around 60%

 

[torniojaws]

December should be around 60%

The January discounts will give 2 goals for each goal scored!

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

He could pass Matthews but Laine is out of reach.

 

[TeamRenzo]

I think Laine saw this thread before last nights game...

Oh god we’re already talking about the HOF. Someone else said he’s going to get 80 goals and they were serious.

If laine scores 25 goals a season for 15 years he's a lock (500 career). You betting against that?

I also said 3/2 odds

Very one dimensional player. But it is probably the most important dimension to be good at in Goal Scoring.

Because his game away from the puck, and in his own zone is terrible.

You can teach defense and positioning. The kid is only 20. You can't teach that shot. Wasn't Ovie the same way? (Controller disconnected gif)

It’s just asinine to bring up the hall at this point.

Are you kidding? Ovi’s greatest assets besides his shot were his wheels and his hitting. His game was on an entirely different level at the same age.

Wheels and hitting is not synonymous with defense and positioning. Reading comprehension

Need wheels to get into position

 

[CraigsList]

Those who picked Tkachuk over Laine were fools

I love how HfBoards always called Ovi a one-trick-pony and a liability anywhere but on the PP until last season

Those daily Laine bashers have completely vanished

that one guy Caitlyn Jenner is nowhere to be seen

Don't you mean that woman?

They will crawl back again when Laine is having a cold streak...

This thread ... oof

I think we can lock this thread up
Don’t have to rub it in
The OP feels embarrassed already

Safe to say though Tkachuk is 3rd behind the top 2. He’s ahead of Dubois, Puljujarvi and Juolevi.

 

[flamesforcup]

Bad thread and embarressed by some overzealous Flames fans. Sample sizes matter people! Look about as bad as ppl saying Tkachuk>Gaudreau

I said Laine earlier in the thread. He's had an amazing week.

I think we should probably wait to see if he can keep it up, though. He's been hyped to hell and back this week. He's had hot streaks before.

I counted "those expressing an opinion" on the posts on the first page of this topic, and by a score of 13-9, HF posters in the majority think Laine has been eclipsed by Tkachuk, and in some cases, by others, as well.

1. Not fair to silence the majority.

2. Edmonton needs a new G.M., and they're taking names. I'm sure those 13 posters have been harvested for their list.
