Being 20 years old doesn't really prove anything.
His skating is still an issue when you look at both his speed and his balance.
His reflects are slow when he's shooting or passing the puck. And the odd occasions he does complete a shot or a pass it's off the mark more often than not.
And his vision and hockey IQ is on par to a third liner.
So if he can improve those failings by the time he's 22-23, I'll grant you his age is a factor. But if he can't then his age is just an excuse to overlook his failings.
Honestly man, I know youve been vocal about him being a third liner, but lets be honest, you are wrong. I will give you the chance to just admit it, and never really talk about it again.
This post is just really far from the reality we've seen, not only since Ducharme took over (Thats an insane post if just looking at that period.), but also over the whole year.
The fact that you question his vision, out of anything is completely insane. He has, almost every game this year, delivered absolutely elite level passes, just last game he completely beat the whole Canucks team with a pass on Lekhonen stick who did what Lekhonen does.
Lets be honest here, your bias is extremely strong, and you are panicking because you don't see the light of day, so at the first sign of a "bad" game, where he didn't have a point and was on the ice for two goals, you rise up from your ashes and come in the thread to remind us how bad he is.
Get real, stop hating, enjoy the ride.
