listen dude, you're obviously the typical wiseass virgin teenager that doesn't watch any real hockey, just looks at stats and thinks that numbers mean everything. you need to watch a player to see how they do. WATCH THEM. if you've ever seen Kyle Turris play, and I mean EVER, then you would know that he is extremely ****ing talented. 100 point potential? no. 75-85? absolutely. he has vision, he has hockey IQ, and he has the natural skill set that the rare talents all possess. he's only 20 years old for god sakes... that's just a kid. you think it's normal that young guys are owning the NHL like this? not at all. how long have you been watching hockey, maybe 6 or 7 years? the NHL wasn't always like this. hockey players, like all other athletes, develop at different paces. the fact that you are writing off Turris so hard already just proves how ignorant and unintelligent you are. even if he maxes out 65-75 points in the NHL, he's an incredible hockey player. that's not a "bust". not many people in the world do that. a bust is Patrik Stefan, or Alexander Daigle. but i'm assuming you were still sucking on your mom's nasty **** when they were playing, so I can't imagine you understand the reference.
anyway, my point is, you need to watch a player to see how good they are. not all players hit their potential at 20. some of them don't until 26, 27. scouts know what they are doing. Turris is a highly-touted prospect for a reason, and if you think the Coyotes "regret drafting him" like you're saying, than you're just a dumbass. yea, you could go on and say that other players taken after him were better, so they might regret it. but that's just not how it works. When was Datsyuk drafted? When was Zetterberg drafted? so many greats are late picks, it's virtually impossible to judge a player based on their draft position, and their performance in the first few years of professional hockey. it's all relative, and its just too soon to judge a guy like Turris, plain and simple
honestly kid, what it comes down to, is you just don't really know what you're talking about. I appreciate the fact that you think Turris won't live up to hype, because i too think he was really overhyped, but to say he's a total bust, well, you're just an idiot, because he hasn't even been in a position to be considered one yet. he can't even shave for god sake. give it a few years. wake up kid, learn a thing or two about hockey. get yourself a stick and pair of skates and see how the sport really works
