Last time they had a pick like this his name was Lemieux...and along with him came a couple of Stanley Cups. :D

He's the real deal , he's from my home town, even though I don't know him. He's been playing in QMHL since he was 15, playing against 18-20 year olds and still leading the leaque in scoring

I got to see him a few times playing against Moncton this year and he's great, he's pretty small for the NHL , and I don't know if he will be the next Grtzky or Lemieux but he should definately be a Sakic, Jagr or Foresberg material

Mark Madden, who sometimes tends to overstate things, said that one day, the conversations will say, "Orr, Greztky, Howe and Crosby". If he is the REAL deal or not, at least the Pens have reason to celebrate.

Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Igloo this year. ;)

He became such a big deal in Major Junior hockey that in order to buy a ticket when Rimouski showed up, you had to purchase a 3 ticket package for the game before and the game after his, and they still sold out

I just hope they can sign him! They need some help there!

He's definitely causing some hype! I hope the kid is as good on NHL ice as everyone hopes he will. The league is lacking players like that these days.
