Carter George: Future Star or Flash in the Pan? Two shutouts at the World Juniors is impressive, no doubt. But does early success at this level truly translate to NHL stardom? Plenty of goalies have shone brightly on the junior stage only to fizzle out later. What do you think sets apart the true future stars from the one-hit wonders at the World Juniors? Is it mental toughness, technical skill, or just plain luck? Where do you see George fitting into this picture? With his OHL stats being good but not otherworldly, is this a sign of things to come or just a stepping stone? Share your thoughts and predictions for this young netminder. Is he the real deal, or are we getting caught up in the World Junior hype?
