MPS in his rookie season as a teenager put up better numbers than Frattin did as a 24 year old for the Leafs. MPS is a much much better prospect than Frattin, and has a lot more developing left to do. By the time he's Frattin's age, I expect he'll be better than a 15 point in 56 NHL game player.

It'll be interesting to see how both players develop. Few players find their scoring touch in the NHL but MPS is still pretty young. I think you're selling Frattin short, he might be 24 but he had a hell of a season for a rookie pro.
