Kane and Benn are the only two who are significantly better. After them Pacioretty is probably better than most of those top 10 guys but it is pretty close. Guys like Shattenkirk, Subban, Mcdo etc are all excellent aswell.

If PK continues to progress like this, and becomes a perennial Norris contender before 25, he may vault to #1. That would put Patches about fourth or fifth, I suppose. Incredible draft, when you also consider McDonagh.

I really don't know how he does it. He's one of those guys with hyperdeveloped antennas for finding talent, in relation to competing scouts', which are stunted. Maybe he works out his antennas as well, if this picture is predictive of his hockey acumen.
Like I said earlier in this thread, Subban is the best player from that draft. Others got off to better starts but in the long run PK is going to have the best career.

I remember early in his career I figured he'd be a good offensive blueliner but probably a defensive liability. He's come so far on the defensive side of things and his offense is getting better. He's much better than I ever thought he'd be. By the start of last year I became a believer and by the end of last year he proved that he could be among the best. He's among the elite right now and he really deserves Norris consideration.
I said it before and I'll say it again, he has HOF talent. If he can stay healthy he'll be among the elite for years to come.

If he keeps improving like he has since he re-signed until now, I think I personally will be saying is playing like a HOFer next year. He's already really close.
