Michael Misa: Future Superstar or Just a Goal-Scoring Machine?

52 goals in 51 games. Michael Misa is putting up video game numbers in the OHL. Is he a lock for first overall in the upcoming NHL draft? Or are we overhyping a player solely based on goals? His world junior snub certainly raises questions. Did Team Canada make a mistake overlooking his scoring prowess? Could his goals have been the difference-maker in their quarterfinal loss?

How does Misa compare to other draft-eligible players like Matthew Schaefer, Porter Martone, and James Hagens? Is goal scoring enough to warrant the top spot, or are other attributes more crucial for long-term NHL success? What about his overall game beyond the goals?

Lets hear your bold predictions: Where will Misa land in the draft? Will he live up to the hype? Is he the next Lindros, Kane, or Tavares, or are those comparisons premature? Share your thoughts and lets discuss!
