If the Leaf players suck so damn much why are y'all always comparing your players to them? Like it's not enough to make a thread about him, you gotta have several posts just bashing Leaf players apparently.
Stop it mate it's a Rantanen thread. For once a thread that doesn't turn into a Leafs thread don't listen to the bashing. You can ignore it, yes you can do it !If the Leaf players suck so damn much why are y'all always comparing your players to them?

I have to agree with you guys 100%. He just didn’t seem to have any blooming elite qualities before the draft, in my eyes. It’s a surprise that he is beginning to look like such a complete player so quickly, so that fact alone has to make him underrated for a bit.
I think his lower body strength plus the newly found explosiveness in his first few steps, combined with the abilities he already posessed last year, are a real treat to watch.
Damn son you are a sensitive soul - this thread isn't even about the Leafs. Just ignore posts that are inflammatory otherwise you just rise to the bait and look foolish.
Persecution complexes are not flattering.
Rantanen might be one of the most overrated players in the league. He plays with MacKinnon and that's why he looks good.
Well clearly someone hasn't watched another team beside his. If you don't know what you're talking about just don't. Right now it's Rantanen that makes both Mackinnon and Landeskog look good.Rantanen might be one of the most overrated players in the league. He plays with MacKinnon and that's why he looks good.

Didn't even think that could be sarcasm but yeah that's what we heard after last season so it's a possibility.I’m pretty sure that was sarcasm...at least I hope it was...

Laine isn't even in this tierConsidering how many were calling for regression or calling him overrated this offseason, yeah, underrated. Not in the Matthews/Laine/MacKinnon tier though. Just having a red hot start.
The op is literally comparing Rantanen to Matthews in the opening post, so yes this thread is about the leafs to a certain extent. It's not a persecution complex. It's the reality of what kind of discussion the OP had in mind.Damn son you are a sensitive soul - this thread isn't even about the Leafs.

When did I say anything close to that? You're the one who's reachingAt what point did OP post say "leaf players suck so much" or even imply that in his OP? You are reaching bud.
One of the most underrated, no one ever talks about him and I don’t think any casual hockey fan I know irl knows who he isRantanen might be one of the most overrated players in the league. He plays with MacKinnon and that's why he looks good.

Shouldn't be spoken in the same breath as Matthews and Laine, is say a better comparison is Aho, which is no disrespect at all.
Text book Avalanche Peter ForsbergHe does seem to have hit another level this season. And he was excellent last year. But he's figured out he's 6'4, 215, he's worked on his strength on his skates, and so he's realized he can go out there and use his size to bully guys. Watching him throw his shoulder into guys coming in to hit him on the boards and just toss them off is awesome.
