What you said about Siemens is Pejorative Slured.
This, and automatically graduating Elliott from prospect status, while evaluating Barrie as a prospect is also Pejorative Slured.
The people writing these articles are not robots, so there is no real excuse. I don't really care what the number of games played is, Barrie has established himself as a starter and Elliot hasn't.
Also a huge ****ing lack of research and general follow of the hype machine when talking about Siemens.
Yes his point totals have dropped, but that team has also gotten some very good offensive defenders at the same time. Siemens has always been a defensive D prospect. So how about a more in depth look at why his offensive totals have dropped?
Laying this failure tag out, while not talking about how much hes improved defensively as a major key is weak.
The comment about the Memorial Cup was more of the same BS, because anyone that actually ****ing watched it knows that Duncan Siemens was the only defender in the entire tournament who was able to shut down Mackinnon and Drouin. Something not even everyone's love child, Seth Jones could even come close to doing.
But hey... He hasn't lived up.
Classic shotgun approach, look up some stats, vomit some general blah into a blog and call it an informed write up. Weak...
