If I pick a 10 year old hockey player and say he will turn out to be better than Latendresse in the future what would you say? well he could turn out to be the next hockey phenom or just another kid... get the point? and thats what this debate does when it projects someone much farther away than someone closer to proving himself, basically the farther away someone is from the NHL the wider the range is of what type of player they can become, and thus one can speculate for either argument that he will be better or worse than "prospect B"...and thats why most would rather compare people on the same development curve and find it silly to comapre players 3 or more years appart. Of course this is a prospect board and we all like to project...so why not simply accept talent analysis and a projection based on gut feeling and not pitt prospect A vs B if its and apples and oranges and end up with endless debates that no one can win.
