I'm not gonna give him any bonus points for being 18 or a D-Man just like Johnny shouldn't get bonus points for being 5'6 and Forsberg shouldn't get bonus points for "Man, Washington could have him on their RW right now, beside Ovie and Backstrom. At least they have Curtis Glencross".
That said, he's 27th in defenseman scoring which is no doubt a fantastic rookie season.
Klingberg is 23rd in defenseman scoring which is even better for a rookie. He's 4 years older but that doesn't make him less of an NHL rookie... he's never even had an AHL season.
Gaudreau is 42nd in forward scoring and tied for 18th among wingers (13th at LW).
Forsberg is 32nd among forwards and 19th among centers.
Definitely four players who are already flat out stars.
