Scouts, fans, media, etc. are always so quick to make comparisons of prospects who are, more often than not, from the same country as a current or former NHLer. For example, Bedard only being compared to McDavid or Crosby; Laine to Kurri or Selanne; or Michkov to Kucherov or Bure. It makes sense, to an extent, such that they are products of these systems and drills that are evident in their individual and team play - which, from a broader perspective, is a reflection from the Country they originate from and their developmental model. But for me, personally, Celebrini actually reminds me of a non-Canadian player - Marian Hossa. At 6'1, 207 lbs., Hossa was a premier two-way winger who scored 40 goals 3 times in the dead puck 2.0, was known for his defensive play, speed, forechecking, and playmaking as well. Celebrini of course is a centreman, and has recently said he models his game after Patrice Bergeron, stating: "I consider myself a two-way center. I take care of the defensive zone, but also create plays and try to make things happen, offensively. I feel like I watched Patrice Bergeron a lot. I just liked how he carried himself on his team, how responsible he was, defensively." He's a hell of a playmaker, his speed to gain the zone, curling back to find open teammates is something I've noticed a lot about his game. He sees the ice very well, despite being known primarily as a goal scorer at the USHL (46 goals in 50 games as a 16 year old; USHL Rookie of the year & Player of the Year as a 16 year old) and 8 goals in 6 NCAA games so far. It's exceptionally rare to make it in the NCAA as a true 17 year old, let alone to thrive in the way that he has so far. The most points put up as a true 17 year old is 39 points in 42 games by Jonathan Toews in 2005-2006. Very good chance Celebrini continues to break more records this coming season. Pretty good build so far as well, at 6'0 ft., 190 lbs. I think he should top out at around Hossa's build in his prime (6'1 ft. 205-ish lbs.). I think they are eerily similar, despite Celebrini being a center and Hossa being a winger. They both possess incredible speed, elite goal scoring arsenal (wrist shot, one-timer), playmaking and commitment to the defensive side of the game. It's actually quite remarkable how underrated this player is. He's not Bedard. But he's one of the best prospects I can remember in a while. He's in that Nathan Mackinnon/Auston Matthews level of potential. The speed, the size, the skill, the high motor, the vision. The hype may take off yet for Celebrini for this up coming season.
