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 definitely didn’t say it would or wouldn’t translate. You said based off skill. So, I was pointing out how I see them at the same respective ages skill wise. The jury is still out on how it will all translate, obviously.
