Thanks. Maybe add something to discussion rather then berating other people's opinions because they don't agree with yours.
fair enough, but only just: stamkos peaked at 21, ovechkin at 22. we will probably see laine's peak very soon.I don't know, he's 20.

whoever said he plays a stationary game is right on the money. hopefully he can round out his game and not rely so much on one-timers.
Both were readier than Laine physically, though. I expect Laine to peak a bit later.fair enough, but only just: stamkos peaked at 21, ovechkin at 22. we will probably see laine's peak very soon.
Out of curiosity, what do you think Matthews' ceiling is?Oh sure, even though I've never said anything like that before
i agree with this i think laine hits 50 goals next year and maybe 60 in one of the next 3 years after that and then we see a steady 40 goal career until hes a 30 goal 50 point player into his early 30s. if he works on his skating and endurance he shld have a 500+ goal career when its all said and donefair enough, but only just: stamkos peaked at 21, ovechkin at 22. we will probably see laine's peak very soon.

Went with option 3.
While his ceiling may be top of his generation I doubt he'll even get there. To many young snipers in his generation that will challenge him or exceed him. Still has a long way to go before he becomes a complete hockey player but his shot is deffinitly one of the best in the league.
I mean there is only really 3 pure goal scoring competitors at the moment(Matthews, Boeser and Svechnikov)
and Laine is younger than two of them while arguably having better DY goal stats than the one who’s not. I’m not saying he’s gonna be the best of his generation but I don’t know if there’s that much young competition as you mention.
Shot is unreal but Stammer had similar high end shot.He could take over from Ovi as the greatest goalscorer in the league, that shot is unreal.
This draft alone has Svech, Zadina and Wahlstrom all primarily snipers and top 5~ draftees.
Last years draft had Tolvanen and Tippett.
It's becoming more popular again which is sweet.
Ovechkin didn't have that many pure snipers going up against him either
Kovalchuk, Heatley, Stamkos?
