Long time ago I took some grief for saying his potential is about Joe Thornton level. I now admit to my critiquers that I was wrong.

He can be better than I thought.

I think folks are too much in love with potential. We should acquire some proven talent, like RNH for Barkov, Crouse and 1st. :sarcasm:

Seriously stop with the Kopitar and Thornton comparisons.

Thornton is one of the best passers of all time and Kopitar scored 61 and 77 his first and second seasons in the league.

Difficult to compare, at the same age Kopitar entered in the league Barkov has several seasons already played as a 1st C :dunno:

He's special and he's dominant.

Those are the only two words I can use to describe him.

It basically comes down to that. Who cares if he's Thornton or Kopitar. He's his own player and he dominates. Let him make his own legacy hopefully with a ring around his finger.
