But generational talent, totally not sure because that implies McDavid/Crosby. The scoring record for Team Canada, while it tells one story, there's another angle and that's the competition it was against. Complete blowout games notching a bunch of those. His skill is impressive - just want to see how it translates to the NHL as we've heard the hyping of prospects time after time at this tournament.

I think by the end of their careers it will be easy to argue Kane and Matthews were generational talents . Both could easily go down as top 50 players all time (if not higher)
I see a Kane type player going forward , and maybe Kane+
