Ok, Im a guy thats seen a whole lot of Roenick and Savard....would've been more but there were no home games on TV when they played. I can tell you for a fact that Kane is not a better player than either one although he does a couple things better than both of them. Better passer than either one and has better hands although its real close with Savy. While we think of Kane as a speed player, he's really not...or at least not fast enough. While Roenick had size and speed going for him, Savard was even smaller than Kane is but his elite speed and shiftiness combined with his skill set made him a gamebreaker. Kane will never be a Savard but he could become a more skilled Roenick by hitting the weights and bulking up a bit. Right now his size is a detriment which his speed cant overcome....might be because the league overall is faster but regardless, its something thats holding him back. He needs to get bigger and stronger to compensate.
Now onto Stamkos. While his numbers indicate he's a beast of a player, I would need to actually see a larger sampling of his play. I mean how many games do we see him play? Not many, you catch his highlights....but by definition, thats what they are...highlights, not lowlights. Unless, you buy the NHL Package you might see 2 or 3 of his games a year. Personally, I need to see more before I crown him the new Mr. Hockey.
