Man what the hell are they feeding kids these days. Geez.
Basically, we feed them what we feed to our cattle. Hormones and growth supplements.
As if thats not good enough, we feed both our people and our livestock genetically modified plant material (corn/wheat/etc).

There is no comparison. He is one of only three players to get exceptional OHL status with the others being Spezza and Tavares. Enough said.
If I recall, Spezza didn't get exceptional status. He was allowed to play for his hometown team as a 15 year old, just like Rico Fata with the Soo back in the 1990's. Tavares, as far as I know, is the only other player who received exceptional status.
I'm pretty sure even Bob Mac said this morning he is 2015
He did not on Twitter.

His birthdate is Feb 7th, 1996.
Ok it wasn't Bob. I know I saw it on twitter this morning.
