Flames Fanatic
Mediocre
Was just browsing on TSN and saw this article. Is it a fluff piece? Anyone got any news on this kid?

I think the better question is is there a first?Is there a second Sydney Crosby?
Yes, in Halifax Mooseheads...
Hmm, in NHL 11 they used the CHL rosters from the year before so there were no rookies in the game.
They didn't add any in through the updates?
interesting comment on the bottom of article. 2012 draft- #1 dynamic russian Yakupov (ovechkin) #2 taller but highly skilled russian Grigorenko (malkin). then 1 year later at the 2013 draft - Crosby version 2 from cole harbour ns Mackinnon. Then the CBA expiry is 2013 similar to 2005.
This kid is going to the CHL. The CHL age limit goes up to 20 am I right?
Lets take a look at some facts. Crosby as an 18 year old rookie scored 102 points to finish 6th in NHL scoring. Not too shabby lol. At 19 years old Crosby scored 36 goals and 84 assists in 79 games sweeping the Hart Art Ross and Pearson Awards. At age 20 he was leading the NHL in scoring half way through the season got hurt missed 28 games. Came back and Led the Postseason in scoring with 27 points on route to a Stanley Cup Final appearance. At the age of 20 he had 294 points in 213 games for a 1.38 ppg. He did all that while being eligible for the CHL. This kid will be Great but I don't know about being as good as Crosby.
What a terrible article. Looks like something out of a fourth grade class. "My hero is Nathan Mackinnon. I think he is good and he is really good at hockey. He is good because he is big and fast and is good."
Embarrassing article
My work day just got a lot better , thank you.
I was reading the article myself and thought, so the guy who is what 15, is doing similar things to Crosby when he is still towering above other kids is supposed to be the "next" Crosby (when Crosby is still active and not even in his prime yet...). I think once he starts playing around kids all the same size we will find out.
