How come no one talks about Brayden Point?

[Riddum]

What is his potential? Dude seems to have a great nose for the net. He scored 40 pts in 68 games as a rookie. He currently has 14 pts in 13 games. I know he won't keep this pace but I'm curious about people's opinion of him.

So whats your Point?

 

[Dessert Nights]

I think he is a point per game player.

Why wouldn’t he keep up the pace? He’s an absolute dynamo out there. His line consistently dominates possession and zone metrics, and none are riding ridiculous shooting percentages or generally outperforming what is expected of them. He’s very smart, fast as hell, and could very well be THE hardest worker in the league. He’s also set to be “insulated” by Stamkos throughout the prime of his career; pretty soon, teams are gonna have to start making some tough choices about matchups. Tampa’s found an absolute stud in my eyes.

Dude is so good out there. Al Murray is my hero.

Point is why Drouin became expendable.

Who's on his line?

Who's on his line?

Has played with Palat and Gourde almost exclusively in my viewings.

Edit: Good players that compliment his speed, but he’s clearly the offensive driver on the line.

Pointless thread

Was the question too pointed?

Point is the what of his post.

 

[The Macho King]

Is this thread just going to be jokes about his name?

Pointless.

Tbf as far as I know that poster isn't a lightning fan. In fact I think they're a Habs fan.

Back to the Point at hand....

So what's up with X player that doesn't have a thread about him yet?

Point taken.

 

[JaegerDice]

He's on a team packed with players melting faces at the moment. People will take notice eventually.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I was sold on him when he stepped up to #1 center role last year after all the injuries and didn't look out of place. He's the prototypical Yzerman pick as he has high hockey IQ and has a high work ethic. So glad we got to select him in the second round.

I always laugh when announcers say "Point takes a shot from the point", then they realize what they just said and try to make some funny joke out of it.

But yeah, i have no idea how this guy fell to the 3rd round. For anyone looking for offense, can it be any more obvious that Point is your man? I don't know if scouts thought they're getting jebaited or what.

My favorite is "getting points is not new to Brayden Point". Don't remember who said it but it was against the Wild last year.
