The NHL is stacked full of incredible talents right now, with more and more entering the league each and every year, but what do the legends think of todays stars?
While most people would pick a name like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin or the top names in the game as their favourite, TNT recently asked Wayne Gretzky, and he gave a surprising response.
Despite being in the NHL for seven years, Barzal is still just 26-years of age, and with so much speed, flair and incredible talent, this is a great choice and a name that's ready to step up and become one of the best players in the league.
In 420 games at the top level thus far, Barzal has scored 102 goals and racked up 362 points, and with a good group around him, there's a good bet this team will be on the rise again soon.
