He’s not; I am.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Un bust like.

Best #1OA of all time?

 

[Megustaelhockey]

He finally got rid of that gross mustache. That's what did it.

 

[Filppula]

And people thought he was a bust, unreal.

Well done to him!

He finally got rid of that gross mustache. That's what did it.

That’s when he started to dominate lol

 

[HFpapi]

25 goals, only 2 on the PP.

He had 19 goals as a 20 year old all even strength. He averages only 17 mins per game this season.

If this guy got a decent shake with top line minutes and 1st PP unit he could be scoring 40.

Remember when a playoff team won the lottery?

 

[Mr Kot]

He is unbusting in front of our very eyes. No more yakupov, now

 

[jigglysquishy]

Hit 50 points on the season. Happy to see him succeed.

Montreal will need to up their offer to a 3rd + 5th

No. When did this happen?

 

[LokiDog]

52 points on the year now as well. The way he’s been playing he’ll probably finish around 58. As a Rangers fan, I have to admit I completely did not expect him to do this well this year. I’d hoped for 20G 45P and felt that would “a win”. 25G and counting 52P and counting and just looks a lot more confident and comfortable. I didn’t think he’d manage it, but he has surprised.

May even need to include Guhle or Gallagher

 

[Machinehead]

The Laftrick has happened you cowards

 

[phillyb]

That's my bust!

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider also scored his 300th goal.

I wanted to mention it because he was the only one to not get a thread.

Shocked he has only 6 pp pts

His EVS production has been very good

50ish EVS pts in a year is very nice. He should have 25-30 pp pts and be ~ppg player

Think he doesnt get PP time on a stacked rangers unit

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I feel he would have easily had another 20 pts already if he had been on the first PP the whole year. Though to be honest he started to really heat up like 2 months ago little by little until now that he has exploded. I see strides in his skating and especially his shot. His confidence is higher and he plays with more intensity.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Great to see his hard work paying off.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

That 1st overall status is a real anchor mentally if you don't hit the ground running.

He's developed nicely like any good prospect does and is hitting his stride now.

 

[Realgud]

Quietly unbusting

 

[HFpapi]

Laf and Byfield breaking out bodes well for Canada after it looked like we had some brutal drafts.

Where you at Shane Wright?
