There was a point after the World Cup that I thought Johnny was going to be in the same class as the other top players of this generation. This year he has been amazing all around there hasn’t been a thing I can complain about when it comes to Johnny. He wants to win, he is easy to coach (Sutter’s words) and he is our best player. 9.5 would be a great great deal

The only reason Johnny isn't thought of on the same tier as Kucherov is he spent his best years stapled to average linemates
If Gaudreau is drafted by TB and Kuch by CGY... Johnny has multiple 100+ point seasons and is compared to Patrick Kane. Kucherov would be a 60-70 point player with Monahan and AHL trash
Johnny is one of the top 3 most talented players to play for this franchise. It's a shame the GM is so awful
