Yeah exactly. If there is one thing about Johnny that excites me is that I've never seen a guy like him. His size leads to questions - but each level he reaches he continues to just do his thing. And his thing is completely unique.
The guy is a special talent and very unique player. Trying to project what he will actually be at the NHL level is VERY difficult but I would be hesitant to confine him based on any past history of small players. This guy has no comparable.
