This kid is definetly special. The 'experts' say that this kid is going to be on the top line of an nhl team. He has become a fan favorite recently to fans. He is performing at a level that has exceeded expectations. The more I see him the more I believe he will be with the jackets on opening night.
However I believe that most CBJ fans are getting ahead of themselves on this guy...... Go back 10 years look at an organizations top draft pick. Was he the guy the people thought he was going to be? He probably was not as good as they though he would be but he was still probably a descent hockey player in the NHL. Many prospects get overrated just because they have faced talent that isn't as skilled as them.
Don't get me wrong I really like wennberg but I think that we should be prepared that many prospects fail to adapt to the NHL level to the way they have played before going pro. I'm still very excited to watch him play.
