I wasn't even comparing him to Crosby or anything of the sort, just that his third college year stats are comparable in NHLE to Crosby at 17-18 and how that in itself is still impressive. And for a kid who I think was just realizing his full potential over the course of his time at BC, I don't think the 18 vs 21 years old difference is going to matter much.

I see him at a 70 point play in the NHL, which is what his NHLE suggests. And I think he'll absolutely get there. He is way too consistent in both his playing style and on the scoresheet not to.
