While I'm not sure if he will be a better overall player I think he will end up a more prolific scorer than Crosby. Like Crosby he seems to have a hard work ethic so I think the sky is the limit as his acceleration is second to none as I don't recall a player since Bure that gets as many breakaways and scoring chances off the rush. Barring injury he's probably going to own the Art Ross trophy for a long time.
