O' Sullivan the next Jason Spezza?

Man, wouldn't it be great if O' Sullivan is the next Spezza?
Two thoughts even if he's not:
1. Cammalleri and a pick...
2. The future is bright I need to wear shades

Patrick doesn't have Spezza's size and probably won't be able to control the game down low like Jason can... Spezza is probably a little closer to Joe Thornton and in the end a better comparative may end up being Anze Kopitar.

"He is an emerging talent who should eventually look like Jason Spezza on the ice and in the box score."
Hmm, I don't see the family resemblance. Not to mention one is 6'3" while the other is a generous 5'11".

Sully plays a better 2 way game than Spezza does...

I hope in five years time ESPN will be writing a "Next O'Sullivan?" article about some young kid.

take away 10-12 assists and add 10-12 goals and you get a better comparative for Partick's upside in my opinion...

Sounds good to me.
I kind of like to think of his potential as a more physical Ilya Kovalchuk -15 goals a year.

It's been so long since I've even thought about the Kings in the playoffs... much less going to the finals.
