Fans always overrate their own prospects. We've learned the hard way how you can never count on prospects to make it.
I remember when we were talking about our next generation on D that would include Larsson, Merrill, Gelinas, Severson, Urbom. And look what happened.
And up front with Josefson, Matteau, Tedenby, Boucher etc.
We have several solid names in our pipeline, but nothing is certain. We don't have anything that screams bonafide NHL:ers. That's why I tamper my expectations when we don't have prospects who are totally dominant right now.
