Megnéztem Eric Johnson talent analízisét a HockeysFuture oldalán: 9B

9. Elite Talent – possesses the potential for greatness, a perennial All-Star throughout his career.

Defense: Nicklas Lidstrom, Zdeno Chara, Chris Pronger

B – Should reach potential, could drop 1 rating - likely to reach potential, but may have a hole or two in his game that will keep him from reaching his full potential. The potential rating is multiplied by 90 percent for depth chart purposes, which indicates slightly less certainty about a player’s future performance.

Ha megnézzük a 8-at:

8. First-Line Forward/ No. 2 Defenseman / No. 1 Goaltender – players with definite skill that might be just a cut below elite status, but still possessing All-Star potential.

Defense: Dan Boyle, Duncan Keith, Kimmo Timonen


Na most fentiektől EJ fényévekre van, ennyit arról, hogy mennyire lehet ezt előre tudni a magasan draftolt védőkről (Seth Jones esete semmiben sem külömbözik).
