FWIW the Power Play guys on NHL radio were talking about Johnny. Mentioned him overtaking Tarasenko and Kane as the most exciting player in the league. Comparisons (in playing style) to Kane, Datsyuk, and even Gretzky. Mentioned the things we all know, including how he just seems to create space out of nothing and that guys are afraid to check him because he embarrasses them so often. "Johnny is must-watch hockey."
Don't really have a point, other than he's getting a lot of recognition outside of Calgary as not just a premiere Flame, but a premiere NHL forward.
He is going to get paid big time and he's going to deserve every penny of it. 7-8 over 8.
