How good is Kane. what current player that is in the NHL would you compare him to.
He's good...I would compare him to a better Bryan Gionta...small, quick, shifty...
He just have gamebreaking abilities. I don't think his size will be a concern. Maybe come playoffs time, he will have some difficulties, but with his speed and talent, he should be all right. His hands are phenomenal, and that's one of the reason that many teams will not like to play against him...
He should be the first pick of the draft at this point, and IMO, he or JVR will become the best player of the draft.
From what I've seen, he's almost a carbon copy of Mike Cammallari at the same age. Big talent, but some of the comparisons seem a bit hyperbolic. 'St. Louis with better hands'? Good grief.
Great hands and agility...will get his points--BUT lousey defensively --willnever be a good back-checker though he may "Learn" better defensive zone coverage for anticipation/pass interceptions...yes,though he's a winger not a centre,a Pat Laofontaine type is appropriate comparison---will get points,but couldn't check his grandmother...
