I remember last year the majority already labeled Tracey a bust and had this conversation that we could have picked hoglander, etc... No one cared that Tracey carried his junior team's offense once sent back.
2020-21: GP=12; 0g + 0a = 0pts; -2
Flash forward to this season.
2021-22: GP = 51; 11g + 20a = 31pts; -1
That's a significant jump in production, and at one point in the season he led the team in scoring. We're still having the conversation that we could have picked hoglander, etc...
I don't know why we aren't excited at Tracey's huge improvement. After hearing Tracey's exit interview, shouldn't we be excited on how much more he can improve after seeing the big jump in production between 2020-21 and 2021-22 season? We can't pick hoglander or brink now, but then again several teams are wondering why they didn't pick Zellweger, passed on Troy Terry four or five times, or passed on Gibby.
