Take in mind when Johnny was drafted he had 25 NHLE, nothing special. A difference of 43 in one year.
Looking at the list of 25+ players to have recorded a 60+ NHLE going into their first pro year, every single one of them went on to be a superstar except for one. (Alexandre Daigle)

All those other NHLE numbers are from when guys were far younger than Johnny. Some of them from when they were 17-18 (Crosby, Kane). These guys were putting up huge points in the NHL when they were the age Johnny is now. You have to settle down a bit throwing out comparisons to Crosby. It might not be a bad idea to throw out some comparisons to Gerbe and Atkinson for a better measure. Chill out a bit man.
