Classless Canuck Fan

Didn't take long for Pettersson to become the most overrated prospect in the game.
You'd think Canucks fans would be a bit more reserved after previous hyped prospects Hodgson, Schroeder, Shinkaruk, McCann, Virtanen, Jensen, Gaunce, Cassels, Corrado, Rodin and even Juolevi have disappointed and haven't come close to meeting the ridiculous expectations placed upon them.
But keep believing that Pettersson is a steal at 5 based on a couple prospect camp scrimmages.
I guess you have not entered the Liljegren thread yet. I think, with few exceptions, that Canuck fan's expectations are pretty tapered. Most see him as 2 or 3 years away from the NHL. How this translates into over hyping a prospect I am not sure. Liljegren is already being talked about as the next Karlsson. Take about over hyping a prospect.
