Michael Misa Reaching 60 Goals: Future Superstar or Overhyped?

Michael Misa just hit 60 goals in the OHL. Incredible for a draft-eligible player, putting him in some elite company. But does this really guarantee NHL stardom? Weve seen plenty of junior superstars fizzle out. Is Misa the real deal or are we getting caught up in the hype? His omission from the World Junior team raises some eyebrows. What do you think is the biggest factor determining if a dominant junior player translates that success to the NHL? Where do you see Misa ranking in this upcoming draft, and what kind of NHL career do you predict for him? Is he the next big thing or just another flash in the pan? Lets hear your thoughts. This kid could be special, but lets not crown him just yet. What does he need to prove at the next level to truly earn those comparisons to Tanti, Lindros and Kane? Is it fair to even make those comparisons at this stage? Weigh in with your opinions and predictions.
