That's quite the career. Those numbers would certainly put him in the greatest players of all time conversation. We'll check back in 20-odd years or so.
For now, we'll just enjoy seeing him perform incredibly during his rookie season. So far, he has 30 points from 13 goals and 17 assists. We'll see how closely he can get to NHL 24's projected numbers.
