Maybe fair stuff to say but came off very unprofessional to say 2 minutes after getting off the mic with him.

Who did the interview? If it was in the morning I would assume it is either Boomer or Walker.
This is the morning show that will then have a "that's stupid" segment, so I wouldn't look too much into their professionalism. Not sure if many people remember the reaction to signing Olli Jokinen the second time around, but calling it unprofessional would be an understatement.
Prospects are inherently risky, including Sven. While he is putting up incredible numbers, tempering expectations for him can't hurt. If he turns into a Claude Giroux, fantastic. But if he turns into a solid top 6 winger with a 50-60 point ceiling, I will gladly take that as well.
