Can we stop pretending *insert draft pick here* *lets go with Scheifele* is on the same level as RNH, He's Not (2011)
Can we stop pretending Filip Forsberg is on the same level as Yakupov, He's Not. (2012)
Can we stop pretending Barkov is on the same level as Mackinnon, He's Not. (2013)
Can we stop pretending Leon Draisaitl is on the same level as Reinhart, He's not (2014)
I can literally do this for every single year, Nobody knows how good somebody will be until they actually play in the NHL.
Lots of "can't miss elite prospects", **** the bed, Yakupov's hype was absolutely insane, people were calling him the next bure.
That being said, I think Dahlin is a stud, and will be a superstar in the NHL, but nobody knows how good these kids are going to be, until we actually see them for a few years in the NHL.
Hughes right now is behind for sure, but he has every right to be as good or better than Dahlin in the future, nobody knows, ATM dahlin looks like a much better bet.
