He is 11 though - lots can happen in the next 5 years before he goes to junior. I know a handful of guys who were very talented (not to this extent) and either lost interest or had more interest in partying before they hit junior.

The following off-season, Ovechkin was selected first overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals. He had been projected as the first overall pick for nearly two years[6] and had earned comparisons to Mario Lemieux.[7]He was so highly regarded that the Florida Panthers attempted to draft him in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft in the 9th round, even though his birthday was two days after the cut-off (September 15, 1985). Rick Dudley, the general manager of the Panthers, claimed the pick was legitimate, claiming that Ovechkin was old enough with leap years taken into consideration.[7]
