Unreasonable reactions, especially when they are uneducated ones are going to get called out, nothing to do with insecurity of the fans. The only thing the reactions show is that the only thing that is important to those who are massively hating on this pick is how the media reacts, because the most important thing to those folks is avoiding ridicule from other teams uneducated fans who simply regurgitate the crap the panels say. I couldn't care less about that crap.

Uneducated fans are criticizing this pick?

ISS had him ranked 79th. Are you more educated on this player thanthey are? How many games of his have you watched?
Nhlcs had him 39
Hockey news 47
I will admit i havent seen him play, and i suspect most here have not. I also suspect that the reason ISS has him ranked so low is that they have seen him play.
The criticism that the organization takes on this pick is because at least three of the "educated" had him ranked low.
So dont sit there with a couple of you tube clips and a handful of cheetos and call yourself an expert, with those who make their living evaluating the talent and analyzing the sport as "uneducated". Your argument fails on so many levels.
And by the way, i dont mind the kid - he reminds me of Steve Begin from the sounds of it. He will have a place in the league. Opefully he can agitate as well.
