Ovie (and Malkin) were as hyped as any prospect has ever been from Russia. On the same level as Crosby & McDavid. Florida tried to use a loophole to draft Ovechkin with their last pick in 2003, because of his age - his birthday was 1 day late for being eligible for the 2003 draft. He was that special it was worth it to try cheeky shenanigans. If scouts are saying Laine has Ovie-potential, they are being rather generous. Is he really any better than your average 2nd overall pick?
