This back on forth is bizarre.
People saying he has no nhl ability are ridiculous. His shot is elite, full stop. His stickhandling is above average. His overall speed is good for his size.
For people blaming teammates or that think he looks fine. Come on. He is a tick slow all the time. I’m not even talking about the first month or so when he was unprepared, it looked worse than Grigorenko. I’m just talking about his last ten games.
In 99% of organizations that have the options we did and do have on the wing, Tage would have gone down to the ahl. It’s just a fact. Guys that look as lost as him don’t stay up. The team kept him up, even playing in roles not suited for him, even if he was ready for the pace. They must have some insight as to why he is a special prospect that needs to be developed this way. But he didn’t stay up because he has been a net positive. Indeed he has had numerous horrible plays that would get many players sat for a month.
I think he has a very good chance of figuring out the mental speed of the game and becoming a productive player.
What a weird fight from both sides for like three pages.
