This will be Owen Tippett's year to silence his critics

After a "down season", Tippett will bounce back from those who said he wasn't worth his contract.

If we are going to be fair, Owen Tippett started his Flyers career under a cloud. He was the centerpiece, along with a first-round pick, that would eventually be packaged to move up to select Jack Nesbitt, for Claude Giroux. It's hard to replace a legend like that. It's like Charlie Hayes replacing Michael Jack Schmidt. You may be good or decent, but you will never be like "them".
