It is so tough not to be super excited for JG and although I so desperately want him to be the next one. I want Johnny's play to dictate where he plays. If it is on the farm next year so be it, or if it is first line with Monahan/Backlund so be it. It is evident though it takes him a few games to become comfortable in an environment and then look out.
No! I met Dionne in 1975 at age 13 at a one day hockey camp and he wasn't very big at all (tall or heavy) I doubt he was more than 170 at the time. Mickey Redmond was also there and he was a lot bigger and stronger looking.

He may have got bigger later on in his career but he wasn't then in his early 20's.
