I dunno.
Seems to me if Brad Marchand was in fact a comparable, it would have been discussed much more frequently and this is the first I’ve heard of it. Specifically related to Treliving/the Flames. It makes no sense, at all, for a hockey executive to make that kind of comparison to an 18 year old. Especially given Brad Marchand at that time was at the top of his game. Pelletier was a 26OA pick. I guess it depends on the context but I don’t recall Trelivi g or any Flames executives making these types of comparisons. Did they say Jusso Valamaki was just like Drew Doughty?
Sport dt, sure, but that’s their job.
