Because european prospects (most) take more time to developp.
First of all, Kostitsyn was a project...he was A HIGH RISK/ HIGH REWARD type of pick.Pouliot seems to have the bigger offensive upside, I don't he'll reach this ''UPSIDE"' in less then 3 years.
Give this kid a DAMN BREAK.He hasn't produced in stronger leagues yet but in what league he has played before?
1 EEHL (some U18's, U20's tournaments)
2 RSL2 ( he played there most of the season before coming to NA)
3 RSL (like 10 games)
We won't know if this guy is a bust till' he hits the NHL ICE.
