Sooooo what you're saying is being a top player in junior requires very little work?
Again I understand what you're saying. He worked hard to get to where he is despite all the signs of him most likely never making it to the NHL. But he overcame them all and stuck with it. For that reason, he's kept his humbleness.
But to say a player being #1 in his junior year and getting drafted high is an "easy road" is absurd. Ever thought that the reason why they are #1 is BECAUSE they worked so hard?
