18 year old, knows no english, alone in a foreign country for the first time. Why isn't he playing the hockey of his life already?
Next year is going to be his breakout year, you wanted it or not, persenaama.
I would say your foremost arguments could be countered by: been a professional since the age of thirteen, could have perhaps learned some English since he did ice hockey full-time over any school. He could also be in a fairly natural situation coming into the Americas given his independence ever since moving to Oulu on his own. Although he cannot apparently do any laundry or cooking.
It ain't a question of whether anyone wants it or not. Living it through with enormous emotion in hype may not either exactly help in rewieving prospects. That hope for growing pains was already in line for last year's minor struggle as the main reasoning but perhaps... hopefully... if we all wish for it.
Despite your minor collapse at the end I appreciate that someone at least could come up with counter-arguments. Since those drive the discussion and analysis forward more than insults which I still gladly welcome as natural part of the incredibly hype flowing around these young prospects, who are still very humane in the end and not manifestations of gods on Earth.
