Is that true though? Let's also be reminded that Johnny was a 4th round pick being compared to 2 top 10 selections.
Johnny was a young draft pick for his class and at 18 scored a ppg in a league filled with 22 year olds and also won rookie of the year, and tournament mvp. At 19 he was over ppg and lead the world junior tournament in goals leading USA to a gold medal.
Sven Beartschi had an amazing draft+1 year and scored 3 goals in 5 NHL games. He is now a fringe NHLer. You can predict all you want but the fact is Johnny is coming off a 64pt season at 21 and is over a ppg in his second year.
That doesn't even mention Monahan and Bennett who are also superior to your Leafs duo
