NHL Transactionist @NHLTransactions 2hTORONTO MAPLE LEAFS: Assigned forward Tyler Biggs to Toronto (AHL)I'll be interested to see what he can do.
And does a guy with Lucic-like numbers have perhaps a 1-in-30 type chance of being more than a 4th liner while a guy with Biggs-like numbers has only a 1-50 chance? Obviously I'm making up these numbers but the chances involved are pretty small, right?

There's a fair amount of people who believe that Biggs won't be much more than a 3rd or 4th liner with little offensive upside. I'd be fine with that as long as he's hitting everything in sight and is responsible defensively.

It's pretty obvious the guy has a lot more going for him than just being big and strong ... I've pretty much written off Biggs as a prospect. Let's hope I'm wrong.Why did you write him off?i also am intrested to know this.Mostly because his offensive numbers were so weak I figured it showed that he just doesn't have the kind of hand-eye coordination it takes to be anything beyond a 4th liner. Even 3rd liners typically put up big scoring numbers in after they are drafted in junior leagues ... I'm certainly no expert though --- my opinion isn't really worth anything.Lucic put up just under a PPG (68 in 70 games), and Biggs is a bit lower (53 in 60) in each of their respective seasons after being drafted.

Last time I saw the Bruins I was shocked at how fast Lucic was. It's pretty obvious the guy has a lot more going for him than just being big and strong ... I've pretty much written off Biggs as a prospect. Let's hope I'm wrong.
