I understand they are sensitive , but they are not refraining from committing the same mistakes from the past . Even nowadays Europe supported by the Germany ' s strongest lobby is paying Turkey to keep war refugees at bay . Class act , Germany , well done ! <| sep |> So many changes done only to delay players from ' finishing ' Is anyone noticing this is all to make the game ' last longer '? Every single change <| sep |> Wait we are only on Episode 2 ? We need to be on Episode 4 to have A New Hope ! <| sep |> I think so many of us do that no selfrespecting radio station will play it anymore . <| sep |> There ' s a couple different factors at play here . 1 . Expectations were always too high . Cassels ' production was very pedestrian in his draft year . It increased enough over the next two years to make the selection look justified , but even in his final year , he had 81 points . For comparison , that ' s the same total Jared McCann had in his draft 1 year , and he ' s considered far from a sure thing . Production may not seem like an important thing to point out for a player that ' s projected as a defensive forward , but that brings us to . 2 . Defensive play at the junior level is always overstated . In the grand scheme of things , defending against juniors is relatively easy , especially when you ' re 20 and playing against 17 , 18 yo players . Yes , he looked good against Connor McDavid , who was an NHLcalibre forward , but defending against 1 NHLer and 4 kids is very different from defending against 5 professional athletes and grown men . 3 . Injuries . He lost a whole summer of training leading up to his first pro year and that doesn ' t help . I wouldn ' t count him out just yet , especially considering . 4 . The comets are terrible . It ' s really hard to get a sense of who ' s playing well because the team is just so bad . Even at the AHL level Cassels isn ' t likely to drive play on his own , and Green just doesn ' t have a lot of good options to put on Cassels ' wing . Plus , TG isn ' t super fond of giving big minutes to young players anyway .
