I thought Aulie would struggle at the WJHC based on how bad he was the year before in the play-offs against the Hurricanes.

I thought Negrin was good but nowhere near to being ready to play for the Flames. Which was shown to be true.
Moon is the "voice of reason" when it comes to prospects. I can understand both sides of it. It is great that there are some Flames prospects that have some great potential, but how many guys have "flamed out" ?

Moon's job is to temper our expectations.
