NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

There's the Habs fan again, not reading.

He said Biggs, not Broll, has top 6 potential.

Even then my point still stands. Biggs will be a bottom 6er his entire career. People overvalue his offensive upside IMO.

Based on?

Unfortunately I cant remember which sites that I found it. But while doing some prospects research a while ago (I have a number of sites I regularly visit) I came across a couple of articles that had him pegged as at best a 3rd line player. Best case scenario they were talking like he could develop into a player too good for the 3rd line but not good enough for 2nd line duty.

Thinking back they seemed very well thought out and researched articles, not just some random shitty blogger giving his baseless opinion.

But then again prospect development is always a matter of opinion unless you're a top 5 pick which is usually a pretty sure bet.

Oh, well that settles it than. Bust he is!

No offense chuck, but you are beginning to come across as very ignorant.

Im personally kinda shocked the leafs included Broll.

I'm not, Dallas Eakins said he was the most impressive rookie call up in the AHL playoffs.

[bills09]

Stuart Percy and its not even close Kareem.

Stuart Percy and its not even close Kareem.

Not my opinion, but obviously it was close if Eakins mentioned Broll as that guy, and not Percy, and subsequently that the Leafs placed Broll on recall over Percy.

And you come across as deluded and egotistical....whats your point? Just because someone doesnt agree with the majority projection of your fantastic prospect has nothing to do with ignorance. I dont necessarily see the same things in your vaunted prospect that you do. Move on.

Let's just ignore that they are completely baseless, other than some random article
You read this one time and can't link to. Of course he's a bust a year after getting drafted, despite putting up career numbers

[Lee]

Anyone who calls any of the 1st round kids from the past 400 days a bust is a retard regardless, not surprising of some of the media sources you'd view, Chuck.

[shooker]

I personally think Biggs is shit too. However I have not seen very much of him so I won't argue that opinion. I will however argue that chuck has probably seen as much of Biggs as alot in here and he is also not the first or last person to argue a prospects abilities on very little information. Team probably does not have any bearing on chucks opinion but is probably the only reason people stuck up for Biggs. Bbkl'ers call out prospects with zero reasoning all the time just as many get hard ons for players without watching them lol.

[Shep]

I disliked the Biggs and Percy picks..

Ugh.

[Sensfanjosh]

Chuck also never said he was a bust just said he's likely a bottom 6 player because his offender isn't likely to translate. I don't see much that's controversial in that claim, not every prospect becomes a top 6 player and he has the size to carve out a nice career as a bottom 6 guy if his offender happens to not translate.

No where did I say he was a bust. Everything I've said has stated otherwise. What I DID say was that multiple articles I've read have projected that he is not going to pan out as a top 6 player like the Leafs drafted him for, but will for sure be a 3rd line player for them. It was predicted that his offense will not translate to the NHL level but that because of his size and work ethic he will be a fantastic 3rd line player.

For all you guys ripping on me for not reading things thoroughly you sure as well just did the same Lee.

[Lee]

He was scouted, projected and drafted as a top 6 player, panning out to a 3rd liner would make him a bust. I've read everything you said.
