I actually do bro. No way is Dermott have a Top Line Ceiling. Dermott is 22, and hasn't even gotten close to his so called "Top Pairing Ceiling" give it up already he isn't top ceiling Sandin and Liljegren sure, but Dermott no. When it comes to if I want Parayko or Dermott. I'd take Parayko. Because Parayko is a Top Pairing. Dermott isn't. Obviously you do not know what you are talking about. Get your crap on bias road.
Settle down big fella
There's a reason Dermott hasn't gotten a chance at a top pairing job. He's always had good players in front of him so management has been able to ease him in. Watch a few games, the guy is really good and better than his placement in the lineup.
I'd obviously pick Parayko too, have you forgotten that that's what this is about? Parayko is better but comparing a 26 year old and a 22 year old is a fools game. Nobody will know what Dermott is, as compared to Parayko, for another 4 years.
The better route would be to compare the two when they were 22. When Parayko was 22 he was a rookie, just breaking into the league, Dermott has a full year under his belt, another half year when he broke in and is working on another full one. He was better earlier and hasn't nearly topped out.
But you wouldn't know any of this because, again, you're clueless as to what you're talking about. You're just swept away with the idea that Leafs players are garbage because everybody on this site likes to trash the Leafs and their fans. At the end of the day you're unable to step back and look at things objectively because of it.
