I didn't jump into debating "is Drouin better than Crosby".....I just added some perspective to a comment. I guess being the best since Crosby, you could be talking about a 20 year old and say the same thing, but to me a high end prospect like Ehlers would be a better comparison. Perspective is a huge thing......he should be the most dominant now, but he wasn't at 17...age is a huge part of it. Development time isn't really that strong of an argument....Patrice Bergeron played rec hockey a couple years before Q then went straight to the NHL....you either got it or you don't. Everyone knows that Drouin is not near what Crosby was, or he wouldn't be in the Q at all right now...there is no argument to be had on that. Why don't you simply admit you misunderstood the original point, rather than do this song and dance? You are meandering off on multiple paths, making no sense. There is no perspective that you added - your point about his age means nothing with regards to the original point. "and he should be considering the age" is your statement, and it makes no sense because 1) nobody was comparing him to Crosby and 2) just because you are a high ranked 18 year old doesn't mean you should be dominating like Drouin has This would have been way easier had you just said you misunderstood the original point why would I say I misunderstood the original post, if I didn't misunderstand the original post? I fully understand what was being said. I added a comment, and you respond with your usual song and dance. I'm done with this one.......maybe...it is possible that I may have to come back again to tell you I'm done with it, as I'm sure you'll have something else to say.

It's still an issue of development time, not age. Why are you debating age? What relevance does it have with the argument? Had Crosby played at 18? I don't understand how that at all has relevance to the comment made, or how it in any way alters the debate, other than changing the subject altogether. You're the only one arguing hypothetical issues. Everyone else is simply focusing on the reality. But it still all goes back to your initial post as you attempted to debate an issue that was was never brought up. You jumped into a debate that was..... is Drouin better than Crosby. Nobody said that. But you felt, either due to ignorance with respect to the comment "best since Crosby" or simply bordem on your part and needed that porkchop rise to throw 2 cents in just for something to do. If you feel obligated to start a thread "How good would Crosby have been had he played at 18" feel free. It would make for some interesting speculation. But there's an off-topic forum for that. I didn't jump into debating "is Drouin better than Crosby".....I just added some perspective to a comment. I guess being the best since Crosby, you could be talking about a 20 year old and say the same thing, but to me a high end prospect like Ehlers would be a better comparison.

Everyone knows that Drouin is not near what Crosby was, or he wouldn't be in the Q at all right now...there is no argument to be had on that. Do you mean Drouin at 17? He lead the playoffs in scoring and was 5 points back of Duffy in the reg season and played 19 less games... This year isn't exactly out of nowhere.

The conversation was that Drouin is the most dominant player in the league since Crosby. You said he should be given his age, and compared his age to Crosby. You didn't get it at all. You still don't I guess.

Do you mean Drouin at 17? He lead the playoffs in scoring and was 5 points back of Duffy in the reg season and played 19 less games... This year isn't exactly out of nowhere. nobody said it was But if you can make up your own arguments, why can't others? I think canbeer had a valid point.

So last year who was the "most dominant"? There could be an argument for Drouin last year, but I think Dmitrij Jaskin was probably the most dominant I saw then...huge, hard to knock off the puck, and had crazy skills. Drouin this year is more dominant than last year. I think his line was dominant last year, but this year his own play is dominating.
