We all say that Johnny is a helluva puck-handler (and he is), but Datsyuk was just on another level. He had enough raw skill and talent to beat anyone in the league.
Thank you for displaying your immense talent, Pavel. You had an unbelievable career. First-ballot hall-of-famer for sure.

Johnny can puck handle with his skates and catch 150 foot passes out of the air on his stick while doing a 360 sandwiched between two defenders. Give Johhny time, he has the skill to reach Datsyukian levels of dekiness.
When Johhny reaches his prime he'd give Datsyuk a run. Several players have said Johnny's the best at 1 on 1 in the league.
