Except that Cole just couldn't skate.....everyone agreed at the time that he'd have to pick up a step-and-a half to ever make it. No such issues with Focht....he already has the foot-speed to make it in the pros.
The comparison wasn't stylistic it was on expectations.
Often when a player has limited success until their D+1 year (he was passed over the first time) it's because they simply aren't as good as other players around them.
Sure he is a good bet to play in the AHL, Cole did as well.
