I think Sven is going to be a PPG player in the NHL, and will go down as Top 5 or better in his draft class...what's wrong with that?

Nobody is saying careful Sven might find out. We are simply saying that if he puts up 30 points (realistic) that the fans base doesn't turn on him in disappointment.
Happened to Backlund. Nothing wrong with him as a player. He just hasn't met fans expectations.
And we don't mean you will turn on him. Just saying people like you have built up so much has hype he may not be able to meet it.
Even Sven was trying to manage people's expectations in his last interview.
I am just trying to combat the hype with realistic expectations.
