I think ASP is the next Robert Gordon Orr (OC)

 

[hockeyprospects9]

The next almighty Boqvist

 

[Dotter]

Pprepare to be disappointed.

I was also prepared to be disappointed with the Seider pick as well, because everyone told me how he wasn't supposed to be picked until the mid-first round and Yzerman wasted his #6 pick.

But dammit, I still hoped for the best! But I'll be prepared for disappointment because you said so...

Hughes is winning the Norris this year, there is no shame if ASP only becomes a #1 or #2 Dman.

ASP is a RHD, therefore he will never be more than a second pairing defenseman for Detroit.

I hope ASP wins a Norris some day.

 

[wetcoast]

I hope ASP wins a Norris some day.

One can hope but it's not probably.

 

[Pavels Dog]

One can hope but it's not probably.

It's 50/50, either he wins one or not.

 

[Czechboy]

Asp Norris talk.

 

[ricky0034]

It's 50/50, either he wins one or not.

either he wins every single Norris between now and when the league ceases to exist or he doesn't

 

[LarKing]

Asp Norris talk.

Can't wait to hear "Wings fans thought he would win the Norris!" down the line from people taking this to heart

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

If ASP stays on the Wings, I don't ever see him winning a Norris. He'll be playing alongside and behind Seider and Edvinsson and will likely never be the top dog on his own team.

I think he's going to be a very good defender, likely top-4 quality with a good chance of being #1 quality, but it almost requires an alignment of the stars for a non-generational D to win the Norris.

Did someone say Hart?

 

[DoMakc]

Did someone say Hart?

Oscar

 

[LarKing]

Did someone say Hart?

Conn Smythe and breaks the goal scoring record by a dman in the playoffs

 

[ZEBROA]

Norris ?thats like setting the guy up for failure. Most Swedish top draft Dmen have been worse then many thought the last few years. ASP will not win Norris with Makar, Fox, Hughes in the leuage.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Talking about him winning multiple Hart Trophies before even joining the NHL is like Hall of Fame levels of counting chickens before they hatch.

 

[LarKing]

It's like nobody can detect sarcasm in this thread and it's hilarious

 

[Big Ed]

I admit I didn't know much about him in preseason but I kept reading (in preseason) that he's already better than Hronek. I honestly thought he was already in the NHL and playing 24 a night.
Then I looked into him...

Well, at least they have identical stat lines in the NHL playoffs this year.

 

[vancityluongo]

aki-petteri berg 2.0

 

[Czechboy]

Well, at least they have identical stat lines in the NHL playoffs this year.

Let me know when asp is on top pair in round 2 if the playoffs. Or when he gets back to back 38 point seasons and follows a 48 point one. Not that I don't think he can do it.

 

[CanadienShark]

Asp Norris talk.

Why not start now? Then we can all look like geniuses if he does. If he doesn't, no one will remember this discussion anyways.

 

[koteka]

He’ll come up with overtime rules and a point system that everyone will agree on and be given the Nobel Peace Prize.

 

[Christien]

He'll be a better Filip Hronek

 

[GoBoltz56]

He'll be the Vancouver version of Filip Hronek

Fixed.
