Do you actually think he is going to be another St-Louis, or better? Not really sure what you are trying to show.
If I were a betting man (and I've lost a lot of bets in my time), I would be more likely inclined to believe Barts has a higher change of being a Saprykin than a MSL. I'm more likely to believe Byron to be a MSL v2 purely due to his drive and desire to be in the NHL. (Not saying Saprykin and Sven necessarily has the same attitude.

But if Barts does well, good for him. I'm not rooting for him to become a Saprykin story. But I'm not as optimistic of success either if his attitude doesn't change. This is purely based on feels and nothing factual.
