from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs,
OK, it’s gone a little too far I think. Jonas Gustavsson “The Monster”, the Swedish goalie who has yet to play a second of NHL hockey and is 24 years old, is being treated like the hybrid genetic offspring of Jacques Plante, Patrick Roy and Glenn Hall put together....
Listen, the guy really could be the next great NHL goalie. But all this fuss - with the Avs recruiting Peter Forsberg and the Maple Leafs doing the same with Borje Salming, in trying to sweet talk Gustavsson into signing with their old teams - well, it’s getting a little ridiculous now.

he might as well turn out to be the next Fabian Brunnstrom
Brunnstrom was a good bit better than numbers indicate and will be a player in the league.
