The same reason why lots of us aren't "real fans". Because we look at the situation rationally.
Most of these "best player in ____" types don't ever pan out to be much in the NHL (and most completely bust out). Just because he's property of the team we cheer for doesn't change his odds of making it in the NHL. The big question is really this - what makes Karri Ramo (a name no one on this forum who be talking about until the trade last year) so much different than every other good, older player from Europe who didn't make it?
