That's your opinion. Doug Wickenheiser was also drafted first overall by the Habs and we know how well that pick turned out. Until we see max play in the NHL, all we have is a potential prospect and nothing more. If a player peforms well in the minor leagues, there is no guarantee he will perform at that level in the NHL.
