This. I don't understand why some people are being negative. No one knows if he'll even be NHL worthy or the next Wayne Gretzky. Why can't we just be excited about a prospect? Would any of you go up to Sven and say, "oh you're having a good season? Well Byron Ritchie was really good in juniors but isn't even NHL caliber anymore"?
Just calm down and think about the positives. Just cause we've had a subpar drafting history doesn't mean Sven won't be a good player. I doubt anyone really expects him to be the saviour of this team but you guys should stop being buzzkills!
