wait, probably this guy. double lol...
19) Mikko Kokkonen D (Jukurit, Liiga) – 180cm, 86kg
Kokkonen has been an offensive dynamo for Jukurit in the Liiga. To put things in perspective, Miro Heiskanen finished his draft year with 10 points in 37 Liiga games. Kokkonen, on the other hand, already has 13 points in 36 games. It was criminal that Kokkonen was not named to the Finnish World Junior team.

I think the gap between him and the other top prospects has maybe narrowed a bit. I'm not saying he won't be good...just not generational. Well neither are Kane or Gaudreau, so that's nothing to do with the comparison. I'd say kane has been a generational player

In a tier of his own? LOL Is he even top 10? He certainly is not above his peers. Crosby is the closest we've got, and I don't think he truly is one either. It's just too damn close nowadays for anyone to stand out.

He has performed consistently at a top level starting with his rookie year, and that’s just regular season with one Hart under his belt.
Big time clutch playoff performer, 3 Cups, Conn Smythe, OT GWG to win a Cup, two playoff hat tricks.
He is easily in the top 10.

With his playoff performances, he is easily top 5...certainly offensively.

He is going to end his career as possibly the best US player of all time.

hes not Crosby...who is the premiere player of his generation...but he's close. he doesn't have the combination of an all-around game and elite offensive skill, but he and Sid and OV are the top 3 guys with the puck, certainly. and really, he's almost a tweener between Crosby and McDavid, in terms of the span of his career.
He has done more in the playoffs than any player other than Sid. That counts...and I am not 88's biggest fan, honestly.
