Look at his numbers in the first half of the year, he had a winger Fischer for the whole season that ended up with 40G and 90 points and he still did not have great numbers in the first half. Then Lemieux came in and he had a big 2nd half but you watch those games and you can tell he was a huge benefactor of having those two on his line. He was expected to go near the latter half of the 1st mid way through the season and skyrocketed up to where he is now with a big second half. If he was not 6'6 I don't know if he would even go in the 1st rnd. This is a classic case of a giant player being highly ranked because of his size, not his ability. Hey, I could be totally wrong, I am not a pro scout. I just think there are much better sure things at #6 than this guy.
