Emu! Is that really you!?
Man that column - Looking Ahead- is getting... interesting lol!
News flash- if you were expecting ppg fireworks from a rookie thats your own short sightedness- lmao! And no this isnt a copium post- don't even own the guy- lol! The entries are just so.... interesting every week. Not trying to call anyone out but that just seems so off the mark by the templates own definition. Hell only disappoint? Ok the rest of your team thinks he can go supernova at the drop of a hat- but sure let's call him an anchor now cause he has 20.in 60 as a 19 yo...
Hes playing well up and down the lineup- 15+ minutes a night- 2 and a half on the powerplay. Hes looked overwhelmed at times but he's looked absolutely fantastic at others. The point it it literally sais "These guys will only bring you down"... and thats just patently false. Again don't own him- no personal quest here- BUT he is a high reward prospect- one of the best! Which means at some point hes very likely to reward you like crazy- lmao!
Was Ovechkin on there the other day?? I know this site frowns on any criticism towards their writing staff at all- I'm just saying I tuned in for critical analysis( and usually get it!)- but this "points good- no points bad formula" with a word count thats consistently beefed up by personal anecdotes is... whats the point? If you're not going to follow the template which is meant to distinguish between guys that are short term adds, guys that are long term adds, and guys being added that probably shouldn't be- then why have it? Just have a scoring good not scoring bad template. I LOVE the old system but if you're not going to stick to it- why bother?
AO.ae an anchor isnt clever or a "just hear me out take". Its dumb. When he decides hes motivated again hell get all the icetime and linemates he could ask for. If you think me saying the opinion is "dumb" is too harsh- just wait until he goes on a heater- 5henit won't be a subjective take anymore- we can all say " well look at that turns out the generational goalscorer was NOT an anchor justvdragging your team down- that was dumb".
In any case- I dont personally care- I'm sure ill be burnt at the stake but if a buddy at a bar or in my league told me these guys were anchors- id say "thats dumb. Not cause I own either- I dont- but because its just nonsense. Maybe these takes have some merit if they're not crammed into this template- im not sure but I know getting through that article without laughing is getting more and more.difficult. I know criticism is not well received around these parts but if you want to post lol articles - well people talk...

I mean, depending on the context, the article's not wrong. If it's a dynasty or keeper league, then Cooley is a must-own. But if I were playing in a redraft league, I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole.

I'm a mod (and have been for years) and don't have a clue what you're referring to. Mods don't send out emails.
