Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted yesterday at 08:43 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:43 PM So, been on Reddit today talking about Kaprizov's ceiling. A comment came in about "Well, let's see what he does with a real 1C." So, of course we had to drudge up this stupid argument again. After stating Ek was Top 25 in goal scoring centers, and a little other back and forth, another person said, "He's not, have higher standards." So, I went ahead and looked at last year's stats yet AGAIN just to be sure. 30th was Eichel at 68 points. A lot of other people are at 67 points. Ek was at 64 points. 3-4 points hardly makes me clamor for some weird ass label or affront to Ek's success. So, whether it's on Reddit or here, I'd like to put to rest the "The Wild need a 1C" argument that's been around for years for good in favor of something else. The top 10 centers start with Petterson at 89-90 pts. So, I think going forward, anyone should be judged as "hey, they are a top 10 player at their position." I can totally buy that as a dream goal for someone like Rossi, Yurov, or Heidt to achieve. If that doesn't happen, that shouldn't condemn them as some bad player. Sorry if I'm complaining. I just think the Ek hate boner and the a prospect should be a true 1C player thing just annoyed me to no end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Thanks for checking in Tony. I was worried you'd left the site since you hadn't posted anything for 2+ weeks. Everyone deserves a vacation and I guess even for writers, it's nice to get away during the dead season of late summer. You're the volume writer on the site, so it would be a great loss to lose you. Your articles make someone think, even if they disagree with the conclusions or the position. I'm glad you're still here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to make their heads explode, tell them if they don't think Ek is a 1C then neither was patrice bergeron. They are the same player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
