No one ever thought he was going to be an nhl star. the 99 draft was pretty bad as far as impact players. he was taken 1st overall because he was the most nhl ready, he played in the ihl for 2 years before his draft, thats pretty impressive. anyway he is a solid 3rd line center, which is really what atlanta needs now with savard and holik. all things considered only comrie has more points then him from that draft. he is a pretty solid player, never will be an nhl star, but will play in the league for many years. if you did do the 99 draft over again, he'd still be a top 5-8 pick, with no one player head and shoulders above the rest to pick at #1.
