Ummm, maybe by only quoting the very last sentence without the previous setup???
Again, he is not progressing. He is coming off his worst season, which directly followed his previous worst season, which directly followed his best season. Not what I would call a positive trend for a #1 overall draft pick with five seasons under his belt entering what should be the start of the prime of his career.
I believe that he is trying to do more than he needs to, and to think more than he needs to. Good playmaker? Yes. One of the best playmakers in the league? The last two seasons, not even the best on his team. I have an issue when he constantly leads the charge, bringing the puck over the blue line, and continuously trying to force his way to the net when he just doesn't have the physical size or strength to do he - he is constantlygetting knocked off the puck by the first awaiting defender, or trying to make that one last pass when he should be taking the damn shot.
Does that all mean that I dislike having him on the team? Of course not, and again, I'm not clamoring to trade him, although between he, Sharp, and maybe Hossa have the biggest value on the market (Toews ain't going anywhere unless the concussions take their toll). I just wish that he would develop into the star that he should be. He is very good now, but with a little teaking, could be one of the best in the league, and I'm talking top-20 scorer.
I responded to the sentence that I wanted to respond to. Once again, did I in anyway misrepresent your thoughts? I don't think so.
As to your new comments, I left the whole text in because every sentence you wrote is more idiotic than the one before it.
kane not the best playmaker on the team??? LOL, then who is? Name one player that is even in the same league as Kane in that regard.
Kane tries to bully through defenders and loses the puck to the first defender??? Might be the dumbest comment I've ever read about the Hawks.
I'm not even gonna bother responding in depth anymore to you, you're too stupid and way beneath my station in regards to hockey knowledge.
