His game is a lot less flashy than anyone else in his peer group (i.e. recent first overall picks) but when it's all said and done, I suspect he will be the most effective of the group over a 15-20 year period.

It's all the little things he does, watching that footage vs the Giants, there's hardly anything flashy about his game, aside from a few dekes here and there and a beauty shootout goal, he just makes all the right plays all the time..
He looks relaxed but out hustles his opponents when he needs to..unlike Hall who is always going 200 mph, RNH conserves his energy, making him alot more unpredictable..
Bottom line he's the smartest player on the oilers, maybe the smartest young player in the NHL?
