Probably not the greatest guy to be compared to but impressive that nobody’s done this in 25 years

I mean, not really? The truly elite offensive forwards aren't spending their D+2 year in juniors. Some not even their D+1 year. So it's a rare tweener-combination of a player who's obviously great at the junior level, but their overall profile isn't that of someone ready to make the jump.

The whole point is he is a “prolific scorer” at the junior level and the team Canada team who had trouble scoring didn’t take him.

My mistake -- I assumed the whole point was it was "impressive" that nobody’s scored 400 in the W in 25 years.

400 pts over the span of 4 years is impressive. How many other guys over the last 4 are averaging 100+ points a year?

Cristall should’ve been on the team. End of discussion.
