Sorry, I may, as per usual, have confused a simple point in my post.
1) I compared Hall more to a Hodgson player (Toews may have been a better choice, but he did not play in the OHL?). I didn't mean to compare him to Tedenby, Ellis or Eberle -- I was mentioning them because people also try to compare Nemisz and them due to draft position and it is just as silly (apples v. oranges).
2) Taylor Hall is a different type of player than Nemisz, which I think we all realize, but where it is more subtly important is when accessing their respective games. I don't know how big you are, but I know as a bigger guy (6'4, 220lbs) it was always much much harder to impose my will on the play in high school age sports than people thought it was. They assumed size equaled that ability, but I found the reality (and other big guys have agreed on me with this before) was that smaller players had more mature muscle and more body awareness and could largely offset that size, while the bigger guys were awkward and the size was not yet familiar to them. It took another 4-6 years before that size really became an advantage instead of a liability and I could finally impose myself in those situations.
So all I was trying to say is that Nemisz's game, as a larger player and a powerforward, is accessed differently at this age than a smaller player's game is. Nemisz has new tools (height, size/mass, strength, intimidation) that he can not yet maximize but may (or may not) learn to maximize over the next 5 years. Other players have to prove they are NHL ready far sooner if they do not have those other intangibles coming online as the years pass IMO.
Don't get me wrong though, Hall looks like he is going to be an amazing player, better (in a different way) than Nemisz would ever project to being, and a top draft pick in his year. That goes without saying!
