You're gonna tell me he plays the same way he did in the past?

If so, I'll have to call bullpoop.

Course not. He's upped his game considerably. And you can see the confidence on the ice the way he carries himself and the way he has the puck more, etc. After all, he was drafted in the first round so...

It could make it harder for him as he's probably falling behind other prospects of his age group (of which some have been playing pro hockey for a few years while he's been playing in college).

Remember that most of us were giving Pacioretty a harsh assessment too until he turned pro...and I think he only stayed 2 years in college...this Kristo kid's been there forever... How long now before he becomes NHL ready...and by the time he'll be ready, how old will he be? there might be a kid 2, 3 or even 4 years younger that is just as ready...

We need to draft forwards this season. Kristo,Collberg, Bozon, Hudon, (Leblanc maybe) are only decent prospects. Any others QP? Not counting guys up now.

This is not arguing. This is fun.

Still took Pacioretty 2-3 years after college to ajust...so if Kristo is NHL ready he'll be almost on schedule

You lie...you're name's not Alexandre...it's Mat...we all know that...

It's actually both, when you factor in the exchange rate and remember to carry the 1.

oh...thanks Alexandre.

I've already laid out several times, where you provide evidence for something, and then when something else comes up where that initial evidence doesn't hold water, you disregard it.
- hscesq

I don't disregard it.

The draft ranking tells you about what the player was once drafted.

The 4 years he spent in the NCAA tells you another part of the story.

His play in the AHL and in the NHL tells you what kind of player he is right now.

I didn't say the draft ranking was worth nothing after I said that it gives you a good idea of what kind of player Pateryn was. I said that some players went undrafted and have outplayed 1st rounders, let alone 5th rounders, it happens.

Now I don't think St-Denis will ever be an NHLer, to tell you the truth, yet I'd still feel more comfortable with him than Pateryn on the third pair, because RIGHT NOW, he is more mature.

And that has NOTHING to do with me saying Pateryn wasn't ready last season, but rather with his play in the NHL so far.

On schedule for what? first NHL game in 2020?

Oh snap..you think they'll play him 2 games of 7 minutes and then call back St-Denis/Beaulieu?

I'm sorry, but there is no way I can agree with this, for the simple reason that it is way too long and I refuse to read it.

just a test drive - I hope Nathan gets a call too for a couple.

I sure hope they know what they're doing...(so far I have no cause to think otherwise...but still...are we really a 2013 Tinordi away from the cup? if not just burn some other prospects confidence instead... lol.)
