Our prospects are overrated for the most part
Maybe by some in the Devils board but around the league my impression is they are underrated. Look at the commentary of Smith in the various Canadian WJC threads. People made plenty of ugly comments about him. Before the WJC some FIN posters left Talvitie completely off their roster projections. I don’t see Boquist being talked about in terms of how he might compare to a Lindblom on PHI who wasn’t EP but was very good in the SHL as a young player a couple of years ago.
