The reality here is that Tij had another last name he wouldn't have his own thread here nor would many be clamoring to take him at 9.

This is exactly the point though. A guy who had a better season than our best ever player, is the genetic descendant of said player, and was raised/ coached to play hockey by said player.
I think it would be insane not to bet on him playing like his dad, and finding success the same way.
