I think your probably right, but sometimes I look at how naturally lanky, and wiry he was, compared to how the players now all seem to be stocky and fast twitch, and it makes me wonder. He wouldn't have near the room to work with now, and he was never really a fast skater. It is impossible to say if he would have been able to develop the equivalent wheels of a current generation superstar.
He had amazing natural tools for his era, but I don't know how well they would translate now. That's all I'm implying.
