Anyway, back to the guy that titles this thread -
If you disagree, why not debate it?
Sounds like you might have an opinion - make yourself heard!
Personally, I wouldn't call Ehlers low IQ, but like I (sort of) said earlier, I also wouldn't expect him to show Connor McDavid type of vision and puck skills while playing Tanev's minutes. For a bit there Ehlers-Little-Laine looked a Stastny short of domination and even with Little they had a couple really nice passing plays in ... game 3? game 4? With Stastny they were able to keep that up for extended stretch, with Little it just never seems to go on consistently. That's not a dig on Little, I thought he was one of the last guys to blame for the Jets early exit, but he's not the player who will keep up with the likes of Ehlers/Laine offensively and off the rush.
I guess Ehlers hockey IQ is quite average. He can make a play that's absolute genius, or one that's totally moronic. Often in the same shift, or even during same rush
However with E-S-L (either version), Ehlers rarely looked like low-IQ - occasionally he would make those moronic choices with the puck, but he would also do very nice passing plays with his linemates a lot. It kinda evens out. I don't think it's low-IQ, more like sometimes his vision doesn't keep up with his legs, but let's face it, if it always did, he'd be just a bit of top-end skill away from being a winger McDavid...
