Why are we concluding he ‘obviously’ went the wrong route? Would he be NHL ready for next season if he played junior or something? He only went the ‘wrong’ route because he is playing with men and everyone around here raised their expectations and are overreacting now.
I always find it interesting when we make a draft pick in June and inevitably people chime in that this guy won’t he NHL ready for 3-4 years (This was said about Bokk most recently) and all I can think about is all the people who will be ready to sell in 2 years.
Can we not learn that we have NO idea? We like to think we do but then we overreact and want to sell Pietro and Tarasenko for a bad half season or want to dump Sundqvist for nothing after his first full year in the NHL. We have no idea about NHL players. Why are we getting all matter of fact about a 19 year old in the AHL?
