Interesting to see the takes on Scheifele back then.
It will be interesting to look back on the Logan Stanley threads in 2 - 3 more years...

For sure - it's a very old thread. Unfortunately, some of the even earlier threads got purged during the move to the new forum software. I did manage to find this old picture of Scheif - the Colts were playing the Steelheads in Mississauga. Used to go to games at that arena, as it's pretty close to our house:
This was 2011, and he was Bambi on skates even in the OHL, though his hands and shot were already very, very good.
Man, he's come a long way.
He sure has. I can't see your picture though?
I was wondering what year his skating and ability to fight for pucks really took a leap. Would he have been about 22?

That's deserved for sure, as he won us a couple almost single-handedly. I'm just wondering how these two back-to-back first stars of the week would look together now, as already back in 16-17 they at one spot were the leading point and goal scorers. Now they are both much, much better, and Scheifele has already hit his prime. What a steal that contract of his was.
His board play is so deceptive it looks like magic at times. He just manages to keep the puck and either evade the D or create a grade A scoring chance for his line mates.

He is absolutely killler at separating guys from the puck. He's so fun to watch right now.

Scheifele is the best player on our team period and the future captain.

This kid went from being bambi to a young buck superstar. Looking at some of the old posts doubting him is funny, they really didnt stand the test of time that well

Some Sip guy was all over him in his first season, bet that guy is eating crow now!
Best early post I saw (from 2013):
"At very best he is a Burmi type player ceiling of 3C
Worst case he is an Antropov at 4C"
Edit: aren't both of those equally a worst case? lol

Agree but if you ask me he should be the captain right now , his work ethic alone is something the young guys should watch and learn plus seeing how far he's improved from when he first got here is something to behold .

Scheifele's slow rise to being a top 5 C in the league has been a thing of beauty and he has not probably peaked yet. While Scheifele will probably never get into the McD/Crosby conversation there is one thing you can absolutely sure about him. He will absolutely will himself to be the best possible hockey player his god given talents will allow him to be. Can't ask any more from any hockey player or human being.

If Scheifele played in Toronto he would be labeled in the top 3 centres in the league. With his work and training ethic we still haven’t see the best of Mark yet.
