I have a slightly higher opinion of David Pastranak than you do, but it takes some huevos to put that out there. I’m liking your post out of respect. I don’t know about most overrated player in the league, but I’ll go as far as to say there are certainly some areas of his game that need *ahem* “improvement.”I know this won't be popular but here goes...........What gets me most on these boards is how we are not allowed to call out Pasta's short comings, of which there are plenty. Other than being an elite goal scorer, he sucks at EVERYTHING ELSE, there, I said it and I'll go to my grave with it. Probably the most overrated player in the league.
For pretty much my whole life, the Bruins have ALWAYS lacked scoring, and when they have had a decent goal-scorer, it often wasn’t enough. Maybe that’s where my soft spot for Pastranak comes from.
Shifting gears for a second…
I like Taylor Hall, and I like his game. I am NOT in favor of trading him. If the Bruins’ coaching staff is as good as I think they are, they’ll find a way to get him sorted out. The kid is fast and he does have a good shot. I just think the slump is in his head at the moment. Not only that, but as I’ve said before, I think he’s going to score a huge goal for the Bruins in the playoffs that will save their bacon. Maybe it’s my over-inflated sense of drama, but I just have a feeling about him.
