Phil Kessel has great skill and speed but he's super soft along the boards and when there's body contact IMO.

Bobrovsky looked like Leighton there against Kane. No chance.

Schenn was drafted 5th overall. Projection was to Adam Foote. A #1 shutdown d man. That was what his POTENTIAL was based on.
I not supprised that you didnt know this. So when you throw out phrases such as "lives up to his potential", please know what that was derived from

- KINGKENZO


I know exactly what they compared him to later in his career. He is not, was not, and will not ever be, anywhere close to Adam Foote.

That wasn't his POTENTIAL. That was his COMPARISON. It wasn't right then, and it isn't right now.

well hopefully team USA is better than the Flyers when it comes to shootouts.

Would love to see more OT, this has been awesome! With no travel involved, you would think the Olympics could have at least 10 mins of OT

So now you get drafted 5th overall based on comparison. Got cha. I never said I agreed with it and also said that I doubt he ever attains that he attains. Just because you completely disagree with the evaluation of Schenn doesnt change what the evaluations, comparisons and discussion of potential of Schenn were.
maybe youre right and they were completely offbase to begin with but they are whst they are. And based on that, IF Schenn were to reach "that POTENTIAL", trading JVR would be worth it. Again, I dont think he comes close.
