You cannot possibly know at his age if Dupont is legit. Kids get hyped like this and quite often crash and burn. Shane Wright at the same age was considered the next generational player. How is he significantly further ahead than Day who was considered the total package at the same age? I think you are being extremely bias because you really like the player. He might become a great NHL player, he just as easily might become nothing, it is too early to tell.
