I definitely can see all the Forsberg parallels and don't necessarily disagree, but I just didn't see Forsberg as such a complete player as Giroux. G's defensive capabilities put him on a higher level than Foppa, IMO, thus I liken him more to Sakic. Sakic logged heavy numbers in his career due to his more complete game.... But I guess I only know Foppa's game based on his few years with the Flyers....If I'm totally wrong, I accept that. In reality, he is the next Claude Giroux...not the second carnation of someone else. And that is what is great about him. By the way, this kid in Edmonton with the double name and 30 points looks like he could be in Crosby's class--a class above everyone else. But he is just a rookie and it is still early.
