30 goals is not exceptional? Right.

Also, who in this thread said he was the next big thing? Erik Cole, Andew Ladd, Ryan Smyth, no superstars there.
Yeah, 30 goals is VERY good (there are some pretty big names on that list you provided), a consistent 30 goal scorer is something every team needs and we're very lucky if Pacioretty can be that for the next 10 years, I'd be ecstatic. However I don't see it as exceptional.
I guess what ticked me the most is how the OP opened up his post :
''He has arrived the PWF the Habs had pined over for so long''
I'm sorry that almost sounded like a biblical extract to me.
Plus that's not even a question or anything, it's more of a bragging post.
His entire post is like a claim more then anything else, and to me his post looks like bragging.
Anyways I could be just nitpicking, but at the same time, why don't we wait until a little longer to proclaim how great he is, let's just settle down and give him time to prove himself. Sure he plays great, but let's just wait til he does it consistently before making anything big out of him.
