Baertschi put up 2.00 PPG in the WHL two years ago. So Johnny isn't the first guy with crazy offensive skill we've had
I'm assuming here you would rank him third behind Monahan and Gillies?

Sven needs a little more output for me to rank him top two.

If we were to rank Prospect NOT playing in the NHL right now:
1. Gaudreau
2. Gillies
3. Poirier.

difference of opinion I suppose but what Johnny is doing right now is pretty remarkable. So much so in fact that it's getting far more recognition continentally than what Sven was doing. I'm tempering my expectations somewhat on him making the jump right away to the NHL but I think it's fair to be very excited about what he is doing and what it could mean for this franchise.
