Man, slashing in this day and age is such a bullshit penalty.

Rust has always been the second coming of Hagelin.

Second coming of Tyler Kennedy more like.

And I loved me some Tyler Kennedy. And I like Rust. But like there's no reason Sprong shouldn't have at least been tried in the top six the way things have gone.

Caps look boring without Kuzy. Playing a good team game, but they just don't seem dangerous.

I have never once seen Bryan Rust skate around the back of the net and fire directly into the goalie's crest

But yeah, TK is a surprisingly apt comparison. Does a little bit of everything. Shows the potential of being a better hockey player but never quite gets it all together.

Either or really, but yeah Rust is the type of player you love to toss on the 3rd line and put up 20 to 30 points.

I mean TK (and Rust) at their best are still 30-40ish point guys that put up good possession numbers which is valuable.

But yeah you're always left wanting more.

Hagelin was always one of those dudes that would be completely invisible for long stretches offensively but then explode for a bunch of points leaving you to wonder "holy poo poo how is he not a major offensive contributor" before disappearing again.

Pearson has always seemed to be a more natural offensive player.

But again, Hagelin's speed was completely unique even in the NHL that trended more towards speed. Dunno what he's like these days but his forechecking/puck pursuit abilities were pretty unique
