Gazdic, in terms of "hockey speed" would likely out skill and put skate anyone on CP.
Even to get a PTO, people don't realize how good you actually need to be to be in the NHL.
When I think about that fact, I think about what Schieffle is saying here and it makes it clear that I can't even comprehend how amazing some players are in the NHL.

This!!!
I havent read the article yet but I completely concur with your statement.
I had the opportunity a few years back to play some "commercial league" hockey and the other team had a player that was a 4th line scrub in the NHL for a cup of coffee. Sweet Jeeebus! he was far and away the best player on the ice and his talent level was better than anything I had seen before.
I think we fail to recognize that even borderline NHL'ers have amazing skill! I can only imagine what it would be like to play against the likes of a McDavid, Crosby or Gazdic!
