Kid is just sick!!!!!
I think Poirier will be the better player, has a great package with size. Yet I so hope I am wrong, I would not mind watching Johnny for ten plus years like this in the NHL.
I just think the kid has vision not seen in many many years, anywhere. I don't think it is so much "Is Johnny ready for the Calgary Flames", its more like "Are the Calgary Flames ready for Johnny?".
Gonna take time for the guys to learn to keep their stick on the ice at all times, they gotta be ready to receive that pass they are not expecting. Never been so excited about a 4th round pick, ever.
I just cant imagine Johnny not making it. Sure, many small skilled players never make it. Yet his vision and overall talent is elite. I will go nuts if they try to make this guy play defense. I think he is good at that too though. Guy like this you let him do his thing.
Old old old Winnipeg jets fan, remember the years of ben lundholm, spelling is wrong for sure. A similar talent John Ferguson hated. Guy was awesome with the puck, but was not truculent enough for him. Sure hope Burke is not an idiot like that.
