Thx. Was a nice game. Good to see the Lundqvist twins win a title together.

A chip of the old block, for sure.

He's surpassed his old man already; bigger, stronger, faster, way better shooter.

Agreed. His father didn't have a great NHL career but he is still a legend here in Sweden.

Willy is a legend in the 6ix already, the TML Tre Kroners; Salming, Sundin, and now Nylander, he's that fuckin' good, just needs to develop his play without the puck, but Babcock will take care of that.

Once Babcock is done with him, he'll surpass Backstrom and/or Sedin and slide into the number one spot there. He just won the WC MVP, and yet we're still just scratching the surface with this kid, he's got tons of growth left in him yet, he's nowhere near as complete as he's going to be, leading the tournament already, and he's still just a diamond in the rough.

Yo, Capps, Dallas is apparently mulling over moving the third overall pick, Edmonton has reportedly been kicking tires, with Eberle, Anaheim too, with Silverberg, Sakic should just trade up one spot to get Heiskanen, shouldn't even cost that much, throw in a second to swap picks, then Dallas can trade the fourth overall.

How good do you think this Heiskanen kid is going to be? Who are his comparables? Floor? Ceiling?
