Burke is also on record saying that Taylor Doherty is NHL-ready, so I don't trust his evaluation as far as I can throw him.
God I was so on the Doherty hype. I thought we had the second coming of Chara.

Kinda crazy to hear Burke saying its a 50-50 shot for him to make the team next season. They must have real confidence that he is a stud.

I think it's probably better to say that he's not always totally honest in front of a camera/microphone...much like everyone else in the Sharks org.
Well Chara didn't make waves for a long time. He was terrible in his first few years.
Yeah but Chara was terrible in the NHL while Doherty is not terrible but not very good in the AHL.
Would it be better if Doherty were in the NHL right now being terrible? He's also been Worcester's most consistent d-man this season in my opinion so the 'not very good' assessment isn't accurate.
I don't know why anyone thought he was going to be a Chara aside from him being 6'7. Doherty continues to improve his game season to season, if he continues that trend I still see an NHL player, it's just going to take time.

Pretty much every tall defenseman gets compared to Pronger or Chara for some reason. I think Doherty will be an NHL player as well.
Good point. It's one of the reasons I really dislike prospect / player comparisons, it tends to set unrealistic (or in many cases incorrect) expectations on prospects.

I've heard a few comparisons to Mike Rathje in size and in playing style.
Michael Brodzinski @Mbrodzinski20 1h
Big ten champs baby!!!!
Unfortunately Brodzinski didn't play. He's been in and out of the line up since returning from a leg injury.
TB has some really, really good goaltender prospects in their pipeline. Wilcox has had a ridiculous season.
I remember looking up his stats last season. Incredible. And a 6th rounder to boot.
It's kinda funny that Stalock was the first thing I thought of when I saw him play - quick, athletic, aggressive, good with the puck, it turns out they're cousins.
Could Doherty potentially be a guy who comes up to the big club, finds his niche and the light bulb suddenly turns on? that'd be noice
also, Goodrow's numbers are impressive, who cares about his age, skating and yada yada, If he can score like Pavelski or Couture, i'll be very happy
