I agree that his game has become more complete. Yes, the surgery was a factor. And heck, he is on pace for 30 goals pro-rated, so it's not like his season has been bad. I've just never seen him as topping out as an "elite 2nd-line W." I want him to become an elite 1st-line goal-scorer who scares the sh*t out of other teams. I'm not talking Auston Matthews, but definitely a reliable 40+ goal guy. Those are lofty expectations, but CC has it in him IMHO. I also still think he can be a 40 goal guy. He has that level of skill and just needs to get the shoulder back to 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to see him in his prime with full man strength. I agree but not sure what you mean regarding full man strength. He's 5'11" and 210 lbs. He's easily 10-15lbs heavier than a lot of players his height. Nick is already strong for his height and he'll likely put on more muscle. If he gains another 5 lbs he will be the identical size of Clutterbuck. 1 of my favourite plays of the game: Savard tripped up Tkachuk and then Arber happened to skate by and noticed him lying on the ice so he gave him a friendly jab in the ribs with his stick.

Hahahaaa love it. That's what makes a team unpleasant to play against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
