I´ve thought about comparing him to Thornton couple of times but Barkov probably likes to shoot more.
My only concern with Barkov really is not knowing how high or low is his ceiling, obviously he is really mature already which kind of makes me wonder how much he is going to be able to develop still. Also a minor concern is his speed, I remember as a kid watching his dad play in FEL and he definately has the same qualities: big body, very skilled but average skater. Although Barkov Jr. is a lot better version.
