you’re Will Smith hockey

you were selected as 4th overall to be a star centre for San Jose Sharks

before your first NHL game , SJS had 1st overall pick and drafted Macklin Celebrini, so no chance for you to be 1C

ok you can be 2C but then SJS had 2nd pick and you needed to change position from C to a winger

ok you can be a first line winger but then SJS have once again have 2nd pick and most probably will drat a new winger so you will need to fight for this position, especially as the head coach is not your biggest fan

You were injured, missed 13 games and still scored 59 points (in 69 games) in your second year but everyone points out the difference between you and Mack or that your results are only this good thanks to Mack

other players from your draft like Adam Fantilli scored 59 points in 82 games and are still considered a top / star player but you’re just ok

general opinion you are not a good as Mack (or even as your other teammates) but hey you’re very good at softball and you will participate in Stanley Pup

you have gold medals from world championships but really who cares

Enter Macklin Celebrini, he was sad at the Olympic and World Championships but

first overall pick and there’s a general consensus that he is a generational talent

youngest at Canadian Olympic team

highest score record holder for SJS

fourth overall in league scoring

declared better than Bedard

declared next Sidney Crosby

Franchise player and face of SJS

future face of NHL

Capitan Canada during World Championship
