Not sure what's allowed on these boards, but it is a "General Prospect Thread..."
The hype and glorification of Kaparisov reminds my of the over the type hype and grandiose claims people were making about Granlund before he ever played in the NHL. Great to be optimistic, but a little bit of reality would be nice. It took Granlund over four years to get close to what people were claiming he'd do as a rookie.
For me, being a long term Wild fan, I'm seeing it again with Kaprisov.
IMO absurd to claim he's an equivalent prospect to Gaborik, or even Granlund.
