Sounds promising to me, despite me typically being a pretty "glass half empty" type guy with our prospect pool.

This. When I watch prospects the main thing is that I try not to judge them. I never say "Erixon will make NHL next year" or "Ortio will be bust" and IMO no one should. I rather want to get a realistic look on what are prospect X's strengths that make him a potential NHLer and what are the weaknesses he needs to work on to make NHL one day. Prospects are prospects because they are not in the NHL yet and on their road there it's easier to develop weaknesses than strengthen strengths. That's why I emphasize weaknesses. My write-ups might sound critical and I gotta admit they are but I prefer word constructive critisicm. Erixon write-up will be similarly critical and I hope you (Patrick) got an answer why.
