I was sky high on Nyquist as well, and I recognize how incredible he was as a prospect. I had a Nyquist "The best dekeing, shooting, passing rookie you've never seen" background back when I was pissed he was sent back to GR. But the fact of the matter is that he basically turned into a 45-50 pt complimentary, soft, skinny middle sixer. Still good, but not what we were all hoping. I think Berggy will fill out more and be able to play a more feisty game. His vision and IQ will carry him.Your entire post was all well and good, and then you bring up Nyquist as the floor.
This is going to knock this entire thread off the rails again, but this simply is just not remotely reasonable. Nyquist's best was first line caliber. Berggren hasn't played a single second of professional hockey in North America, and people have brought up Nyquist as the low end a few times now. If we were honestly talking about Berggren's floor being Nyquist, holy shit, we would be talking about him as one of the best young forward prospects in the entire sport. He's just going to magically show up and become a first liner with the upside to become a top half first line winger in the sport? Good grief.
Edit: I hate doing this type of stuff because it makes me look like a hater of Berggren. That couldn't be further from the truth; I love him as a prospect. I just think we have gotten the buggy way the f*** out in front of the horses right now.
