I think he is a great player, a lot of people seem to compare him to Gretzky, which I think that pointwise (especially with the new rules and regs for the NHL) he will be comparable if not better than Gretzky. But I think he is a much better 2-way player than Gretzky was, he isnt afraid to throw his weight around and such, kinda like Peter Forsberg or someone like that. I am looking forward to seeing him play with the NHLers so I can see how he compares. I really hope that he really is humble like the press seems to portray him, I would hate for him to be a cocky SOB now and then not end up doing well What I am curious about is how many veterans retire when all the team changing is said and done.
