No because it is close regardless of his last 8 games. I swear people freak out and start talking out their asses when a player has a slump. I mean is Malkin now an AHL player because he has 10 points on the season and has not looked good really so far this season? Absolutely not!Is it AINEC?
Don't be silly, I was informed last playoffs that he's now a top-10 defenceman (at worst).
I was told this would be a normal season, no different than any other.I was told defenseman never take steps back and development is always linear.
I constantly forget that kid is so young.Nah, that's McAvoy.
Is this happening? My view it looks like the stars are shining as bright as ever. Unless we're calling every first liner in the league a star now.I was told this would be a normal season, no different than any other.
Oh, wait... I wasn't.
The sheer number of star-level talent that has fallen flat on their face this season is more of an indication that one can only take so much from a year like this. Enjoy it but don't get bent out of shape if a player isn't playing up to their potential.
How f***ing dumb can some people be, to not realize that getting covid might influence players heavily and for quite some time...

Nobody has ever put him there.Does this knock Heiskanen down from generational status?
How would getting covid make a player bad? If he's got worse lung capacity he shouldn't play. If he feels other symptoms he shouldn't play. You could make an argument he stinks now because of a missed camp, just like Zibanejad, but 13 and 16 games into the season respectively, a missed camp shouldn't have that much of an impact.

Or you know, he regressed back to his normal standard of play and that 21 games was a hot streak.....
His PPG was 0.45 in the 150 games before the playoffs, did he magically become a PPG player or did he have a hot streak.?
We'll trade Kris Russell for him.
Deal.
You guys said deal too.
This is legally binding.
No worries here. He's too good not to bounce back. Best young all around D in the league.
I've had covid. Perhaps you are too melodramatic?Perhaps you don't understand COVID?
You would lose that bet. Badly.I would bet you never played competitive sports.
Ding Dong, that's why I wrote that he shouldn't play if he has other symptoms, genius.There are symptoms during the initial phase. Then there are other effects afterwards, when the infection has passed and the person is classified 'healthy, non-contagious and fit to work'. How about read a bit about the disease in question? Everyone is expected to know that much about it...
Who knows. If he suffers from covid symptoms, most likely.You think Dallas Stars would be doing better if Heiskanen had played 0 games, or...?
He doesn't have to play. Leon Bristedt in Rögle BK in the SHL took a break to recover from covid symptoms. He was back in action after 1 month.now imagine having to play while still not fully recovered against nothing but elite athletes.
What about Josi, Jones, Zibanejad, Pettersson, Lafreniere, Malkin, Dahlin, Eichel, Karlsson, Larkin, Domi, Duchene, Hall and so on?Huh? Plenty of star players are performing, like pretty much all of them........
Using career PPG as deterministic for a guy with literally 2 seasons in the NHL, those seasons being age 19 and 20, is a very poor idea

I've seen more people asking "what's wrong with Player X" than I ever had in any season prior (not to mention all of the "Is Player X generational after his great start" bullshit). I'm just saying that it might be wise to reserve judgements on players for this season, good and bad. I mostly say this because I've seen a disproportionate amount of terrible to outright awful takes on this board (at least, more than usual) and am trying explain away some of that too.
