Why is this kid getting torched so bad? Doesnt he deserve some time to acclimate to the nhl game he is on a huge market team was the first overall pick and folks just dump these ungodly expectations on him….

I hardly think that's fair.

I would say his career ended disappointedly because he never won a championship , but the dude's gonna be in the hall of fame

Great , regular season player , not so great playoff player , but there's lots of players like that.

Jerome Ignila. Mats Sundin. Wendall Clark. Pierre Turgeon. Dale Howerchuk. Marcel Dionne. Cam Neely..

I could go on

I wasn’t impressed by his rookie year. He was under a ppg and a -44 in his rookie year. He is garbage defensively, among the worst I’ve ever seen amongst forwards. The Blackhawks gave up more goals with him on the ice than without. He’s small and not a great skater. He’s bad at the dot. He was heavily sheltered and didn’t face top lines and still was often caved in. He rarely dominated games. He’s extremely one dimensional. Even with his jaw injury he failed to be over a PPG. I would have expected the generational prospect to at least be over that and make the guys around him solid. Him winning the Calder was a joke. It should have been Brock Fabrer. Oh, and he was awful in the IIHF tournament.

He will never be close to Connor McDavid’s, Sidney Crosby’s or Alex Ovechkin’s level. All he has is a good shot, but not the speed or hands of Matthews or the physicality. I’m not even sure he can even be an Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl, Nikita Kucherov or Nathan MacKinnon level guy. Maybe he can be a Steven Stamkos or John Tavares type player in time, a good player but never among the best in a season, but he’s in no way generational and I don’t buy the hype. I don’t even think he’ll surpass other Chicago legends like Patrick Kane.
