Tyler Seguin: Man, Myth, or Legend?

As the month of September came to a close, Bruins fans everywhere were impressed by the timely play of rookie Tyler Seguin. But now since October 9th, all of his preseason play just doesn't matter. So I'd like to start off a series of player analysis and predictions with Seguin.

First off, let's take a look at some stats from the last couple years. First off, he's 18 years old. Do some math and you will discover that he's actually a year younger than me, and already 1,000,00 times more successful. Anyway, in his final season with the OHL, Seguin tied this years first-round pick Taylor Hall in points, but did so in six more games. In fact, if you look back to the '07-'09, Seguin doesn't make the top 20 in scoring at all, as opposed to Taylor Hall who made it each of the last three years. Man, myth or legend?

Now, let's check out Seguin's progress in the NHL so far. He's amassed a -1 plus/minus rating and one goal. This puts him above "perfect teammate" Patrice Bergeron and Blake Wheeler, another Bruin's "standout." Of course, it's definitely too early in the year to say for sure what kind of impact he'll be making to the team.

So what's your thought? Man, myth, or legend? As for me, I'm going to go with man on this one. I'm predicting Seguin to record at least 30 points this year, making a sound impact on the Bruins season. I'm also predicting a low, but positive, plus/minus rating. But with no disrespect, Seguin won't be the next Evgeni Malkin.
