Not close? I agree there are several questions about Johnny that make him far from a sure thing but until they prove it in the NHL no prospect is a sure thing. Johnny has been on experts lists as one of the best prospects yet to play in the NHL. He almost won the Hobey Baker as a sophmore and lead the US WJ team in goals including lighting up team Canada. If he is not a blue chipper he is damn close.
