It's why the comparisons to actual game changers is so unfair to these kids... He cannot get away with what he did in Jr here... add to that, crappy linemates and team culture and kids struggle with trying to do too much on their own...
That is where he is at.

yup, I totally agree with this. He's a fantastic player but he was way too overhyped (as a lot of youth players are these days). The new NCAA and CHL rules should help with the maturation of young players. Aside from the truly elite players (top 2or3 picks) that can possibly step into the NHL right away, young players will get more time to develop in the NCAA now, with the CHL feeding them.
