Add to that the fact the parents know what it takes to make it and can pass on the lessons learned, and also have the money to pay for the best coaches, nutrition, etc... and its easy to see why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true. And yet many crash and burn, genetics are no guarantee as there are two parents. Gretzky, Bourque, Lemieux, Roy, Chelios, Messier and many more.

Fully agree, for the reasons Commandant outlined, they significantly improve the probabilities--but it's far from a guarantee, even for the kids of generational players.

Nothing is 100%... but compared to the average person, the sons and daughters of pro athletes become pro athletes at a far, far higher rate.

tomh009 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 The Athletic's Corey Pronman published his list of top 25 prospects at the world juniors. His top ten: 1. Macklin Celebrini 2. Will Smith (SJS) 3. Cutter Gauthier (PHI) 4. Gabe Perreault (NYR) 5. Konsta Helenius 6. Jiri Kulich (BUF) 7. Ryan Leonard (WSH) 8. Lane Hutson (MTL) 9. Jimmy Snuggerud (STL) 10. Axel Sandin Pellikka (DET) Celebrini and Helenius are the only draft-eligibles in the top ten. Neither Mesar or Beck fit into Pronman's top 25 ranking.

I think he will be the perfect 3rd line center for the Habs. He does so many of the little things well. I know there are others on this board who really like him.
