Nick Lardis: A Future NHL Star or Just an OHL Phenom?

Nick Lardis is lighting up the OHL, on pace to potentially hit 70 goals, a feat unseen since John Tavares. His elite speed, shot, and coachability are undeniable.

His size raises concerns, but his ability to score from anywhere on the ice, especially in high-danger areas, is intriguing.

What do you think? Can Lardis translate his OHL success to the NHL? Is his size a legitimate barrier, or can his skillset overcome it? Are we witnessing the birth of a future NHL star, or simply a dominant junior player? Share your thoughts and predictions! I’m predicting he makes an impact sooner than expected.
