I'm not comparing players, I'm comparing the hype around the players. For some reason Glennie was hyped as being a great player and a sure fire NHL player, much like Monahan is today. There are always certain guys that get too much hype built up around them in every draft. Happens like clock work. I just think Monahan might be one of those guys. I don't know why, but I just don't buy the hype. Maybe it was him getting cut by Team Canada. Maybe it's the lack of success of his team. Maybe it's his hair cut. I don't know why but I just don't think this guy is as good as his press clippings. He is a guy that is going to have to prove he's a player after he's drafted in my opinion.
Haven't you ever seen a player that you think is not the sum of his parts or is way over rated? There has to be several players a draft that make you wonder, and then other guys that you think aren't getting enough press?
