Oh yeah there was. Kravtsov issue was never talent, hockey IQ or skills. But whatever, you know better of course.
He was hyped up because of his draft position, he never really did anything that great after his draft years.

Gabe is literally dominating the NCAA and just led team USA at the WJC in scoring as a 18 year old.

Again, big difference, but you know that.

The line has been together for nearly 3 years now---when they go pro they'll separate. That said I think Perreault will do fine because his game is all about hockey IQ and lately he's shown that he's not just a set up guy. Smith and Leonard bring different qualities to the line. Smith isn't really far off from Perreault's point totals and is the best skater of the three. Leonard's more of a guy who bulls his way to the net and has a shoot first mentality. Of the three I think he might have the hardest time adapting to the pros though it might not be too bad. He is average size though and once he hits the pros it might not be so easy for him to jam the net as well as he needs others to set him up more than the other way around.
