kind of sad that a guy who's been with the team for basically a full season now has already climbed that high. Tells you what little they have had in the past.
This is an incorrect comment I see on a lot of my posts. 1, we are one of the youngest franchises obviously he’s going to move up fast. 2, compared to franchises close to our age he would rank similarly.
44th with Avalanche
38th with Blue Jackets
49th with Panthers
37th with Lightening
146th with Bruins
49th with Stars
9th with Golden Knights
9th with the Knights is crazy because they have actually had some pretty good guys even though they have only been around roughly 150 games more.
They’ve had that dominate core of 7 or so that has been hogging all the points the last 4 years so there’s quite a drop off haha
Bruins have been around 20 years already? Seems like just yesterday…
Yeah it’s crazy they’ve been around longer than I’ve been alive, go figure
Does 44th with avalanche include Quebec? That one is surprising to me
No I don’t believe so
I think it is very sad that we can only compare him to Marian Gaborik. While Gaborik was very good he was not a super star. We have no idea what the furure holds for Kaprizov but he might be the first superstar for the Wild.
I don’t think there’s anything sad about it. Obviously it would be cool if we had an Ovechkin or 2 in our history, but you have to be realistic about how often these guys come around. Having Gaborik in the 2000s, Parise in the 2010s and now Kirill in the 2020s ain’t that sad
The team is only 20 years old, and for half of that it was run by Mr Old School himself where we played to win with defense and goaltending. Its not that crazy.
It just means Kaprizov is a stud as much as the Wild have had average players
