Strange comparisons

TSN.ca has published an article comparing John Tavares to Alexandre Daigle and Victor Hedman to Chris Pronger. There is always possibility that the Daigle/Pronger situation will repeat itself, but right now this comment has no basis. Tavares is a bigger talent than Daigle and actually has a lot more hockey sense and passion for the game. On the other hand it is Hedman, who failed to live up to the expectations at this year's WJC despite normally shining against older players in the SEL. The bias is strange, because in previous years, although the Daigle story was mentioned, the media were sure that the players were going to reach their potential. Even the Kane pick, which could have been easily doubted because of the winger's size, was not received with such comments.
