I live in London so I was 'lucky' enough to see a bunch of Fata. I agree that Hall is going to be a better player than Fata, but when he gets going at top speed he does not see the ice. There are times when guys are standing at the blue line while he tries to skate around random forward guy instead of head manning the puck and the same thing happens when he's got the puck on the rush... he just doesn't see his teammates well. When he slows down he sees the ice much better as you could see on his pass to Mitchell for one of the 3rd period goals.

You have to remember that this is Hall's 2nd year in the OHL (and he didn't play as an underager like Tavares).. he's not a rookie. He's not eligible for this draft as a late birthday. He's 17... not 16 as mentioned in this thread.
