Lets not go overboard here. He is good, no doubt. More pure skill than almost every player in the world? Even backpedaling with "sometimes" doesn't make up for that enormous overstatement. Let's try reeling in expectations a little bit. You're making it sound like you expect the kid to be the best player in the history of hockey. As I said, he is good, but how about we aim a little lower.
Also, Kariya was just as elusive as Johnny during his college career. Look how that turned out for Paul.
