YES, 100% YES.
Tampa snatching a generational talent in the 2nd round may be the all time greatest draft steal in history. The Russian factor was BIG here but still..............
He's the first to record 100 assists as a winger, back to back 30pt playoff runs, the greatest playmaking winger ever IMO. A monster playoff performer and 21st all time in Playoff Points.
He's only chasing Jagr, Ovi, Hull and Howe with the beginning of his 30s happening in his career.
A generational player doesn't take until his 4th NHL season as a forward to eclipse the PPG mark.
Among the very best players in the league right now, but absolutely not generational.
