And his junior stats just don't support that view.

My opinion is that if he wasn't Tyler Seguin in junior he sure as hell is not going to be Tyler Seguin in the NHL. Not exactly sure how any scouts could draw parallels between the two based on what they had accomplished in their junior careers up to their draft. As far as Patrice Bergeron goes he should rarely ever used as a comparison as he's an outlier as far as using junior stats to project NHL success.
