Domi has 43 points in his last 42 games. That's not a short sample size...
Chuck was once in a sample size of 60/60 at center. And some considered that to be not enough of a sample. Just saying.

Yup. Drouin was awesome in those playoffs...Tampa reached the Stanley Cup Finals (plus Stamkos was injured the whole time, I think). At the time I thought our Habs would never be able to get Drouin (due to his value going UP or WAY UP after that). If we make the playoffs...Drouin should be our no.1 or no.2 playoff point getter. You keep that.
Our young d-core (+ maybe a top 20 pick overall dman in 2019): Noah Juulsen, Victor Mete, Josh Brook, Cale Fleury...not looking bad at all. I liked Sergachev's offensive potential, but doubt his defensive game.
He was our best forward last night without question. The penalty at the end though... killer
I don’t like Drouin at all, but if you watch the play before his penalty, he took a high stick to the face that was pretty bad.He was our best forward last night without question. The penalty at the end though... killer
We will be selecting top 7 before it's all over, in my opinion. Hopefully top 3. If Domi cools off, then Drouin will tail by association. That'll leave us going down, down, down.I see reality hasn't registered yet
Make that top 10-15

He is the sniper, it's all about Johnny D.He can really move the puck, needs a sniper to feed that to.
Yeah, he dished a perfect pass to Domi with the goalie pulled. Domi is great, but he's not a sniper. Someone like Galchenyuk or Pacioretty would have put it home, probably.He can really move the puck, needs a sniper to feed that to.

I dont know, by the circle is his predilection spot. He's also clutch. I remember that year he had like 5 GWG in a row.Chucky probably would've missed the net
The penalty was unintentional. That speed boost he pulled was insane, he entered the matrix for 3 seconds.He was our best forward last night without question. The penalty at the end though... killer

Yes Domi... Once Domi regresses a little closer to his normal, Drouin's production will drop big time as well. This is still a really bad team that has played very exciting hockey and well above the overall team skill/talent level.If Domi cools off? Hopefully opposing teams will hunt down Drouin like a wild animal!
Drouin is a Vegeta. Legitimately talented, but fat ego and huge flaws result in him ****ing things up when they shouldn't happen. Think "having Cell beat but lets him absorb 18 level of ****up".
And of course, in words of Goku Black, "he's just an appetizer..."
You haven’t been paying much attention to Sergachev this season have you?
As good as his rookie season was, he’s been ok to poor all season long. Check his player thread on the TB boards. Check his usage (sheltered 3rd pair) inconsisant and dwindling I’ve time from the start of this year.
The development of defensemen is even less predictable than forwards so it isn’t to say that his potential still won’t be might. This might be a sophomore dip like many players go through before be becoming a star even. It’s absolutely not set in stone that’ll be a top pairing D though, and a significant number of Tampa fans are currently voicing that opinion.
I’m sure that if he had been playing for us this season with the quality he’s given them this season, the majority of posters here would be saying we wasted a high pick on.
40 points by a dman is obviously more valuable than 53 points by a forward. You don't need a calculator for that, just simple sense.
A forty point dman is a top3 dman at the very least, and likely a top2. A 53 point winger is a 2nd line winger. It's inconvenient for you to admit it but they're incomparable.I don't think your one cherry picked line is as obvious as you think it is. Were talking about year to year fluctuations and what Sergachev would have to do to equal Drouin's 53 pt season. Also, It's not just about points. But carry one with this one part.

Sergachev is just out of his teens. It's too premature to predict much other than he'll be an NHL regular.
Well, portions of this fanbase are ready to trade Mete++ for another young LHD that isn't a sure top pair guy (or even a 3D) and Mete is like 2 1/2 weeks older than Sergachev.
The penalty was unintentional. That speed boost he pulled was insane, he entered the matrix for 3 seconds.
