There are plenty of better players overall and a few offensively. Jagr and Kovalchuk are both better offensively. Thornton is easily better overall, and franchise D men like Lidstrom are infinitely more valuable. And that's not even going into goalies. He's good, he's skilled, but he's not #1 and he won't be for a while... if he ever is. Wait for Crosby to really pick it up, and we'll see what happens.
