Actually most guys from over seas say that. Igor Makarov said that was the biggest difference from the KHL to the AHL & NHL
again, more excuses.

there are a million comparisons you can do with athletes with small sample sizes that both careers go the opposite direction. I mean, just because their numbers were similar at the same age has ZERO to do with the player we are talking about.
I can just hear some of the meatballs now. "oh but he was just like sharp when he started out so he should turn out to be just like him"
nobody here has said that
Well, Patrick Sharp also played on a shitty team and Stalberg played on the defending cup team. So, it's not exactly the same, but I see your point.
again, more excuses.
Excuse because I have gone from what a player has said?
can you agree that right now, Stalberg sucks?
This by far is one of the dumbest sports debates.
Right now, stalberg sucks.
He will have to do more than " be good in the defensive zone " before I give him props.
If you want him on the bottom six, fine.....But dont fucking sit there and say that goals and assts dont matter when you are courting him to be on the top 6.
He started with a very good Philly team, players like Roenick, Recchi, Leclair, and Gagne.
Stalberg's .5 of a season was with Toronto, can we disregard that?

just because people disagree with you doesnt make it a dumb debate...
you think he sucks, others think he has potential..
we have NEVER said Stalberg will be a stamkos type player, but I think he could definitely put up some frolik type numbers.
you are arguing like we said he will be the next gretzky...
Im just saying he will be a serviceable NHL forward
and again, he is only making $875,000.....
Patrick Sharp also flourished pretty much right away when he got here as well. He scored 15 points in 66 games with Philly and then scored 23 points in 50 games with the Hawks. As I recall Hitchcock was the coach of the Flyers at the time and had an offensive system that really didn't fit Patrick Sharp. I want to say reading Sharp saying something along those lines after the trade was made.
I really wasn't trying to make a point about Stalberg's chances of turning into a top 6 forward. I was more struck by how similar the numbers were when I looked it up for my own curiousity.
He, doesn't. You aren't providing anything to the stats, all we are seeing is posts from Dewey "Stalberg Sucks, Stalberg Sucks. I say Stalberg sucks, so he sucks."
Okay. Well, either way that stat doesn't say much. All it says is that Sharp was a late bloomer, we don't have any stats on Stalberg for the future so we will never know if he is a late bloomer or if he just isn't that good.
I gave you the stats, but you said "goals and assts dont matter"

but he wasn't in the top 6 for those, so they dont
