I am really liking watching this game. Every time Nylander and Kapanen touch the puck I find myself smiling.
With that said, let us give them some time before we determine if any or all 4 are actually NHL-ready.
It's like when you get a new job. The first few weeks you work your ass off to show that you are a good worker but once you get comfortable and feel like you are part of the team you sort of come back to earth.
That is not necessarily a bad thing, but the first few games these kids will be running on adrenaline, but after a couple weeks they will start to get comfortable with the style and their linemates. It wont look like they are hustling as hard but that could be because they are better positioned and dont have to work as hard for the same result.
