That's the irony in my above post, the media has been spinning stories and pumping Johnny's tires in the east for 3 years now and he's had no shortage of coverage during his tenure with BC/USA hockey.

The generational talent isn't something most of us have come up with on our own, and I certainly hold reservations on calling him as such.

Edit: However Johnny is a generational talent at the collegiate level.
