I thought he was the new Tanner Glass and the only reason he scores more than 5 goals a year is because he floats so much that the other team can't see him?
AA is what he is and he'll never be a star but it's amusing to see people that have had a vendetta against the guy for years mobbing tiesgo2vets accusing them of being obsessed
He is what he is. A 40-50P guy who can score. Great for a third line. He’s had a much better year and is working harder. I hope he does continue to improve. Look at what Larkin has done. However, AA is and never will be Larkin. Tiesgo2vet actually stated that AA should be captain over Larkin in an earlier GDT this year. It’s absurd.
But he’s no Larkin and until he isn’t a one dimensional player, shouldn’t be praised as a top scorer. In a couple of years he’ll be sliding down the point chart when the team adds more skill. Zadina, Veleno, Mantha, Bert, whoever our pick is this year, etc. and then he has to contend with Nyquist if he comes back. All potentially being better than him. Three of those players already are.
Edit: also forgot about Ras. I don’t believe he’ll be a center for us, but I do believe he’ll grow to be a good Getzlaf-lite type winger who can potentially be a 50-60P guy. At minimum he’ll be a 40-50P guy too.
