Not trying to rain on the parade but trying to temper.expectations. kanzig really is a work in progress. Exciting regardless.

I think the amount of praise heaped on this kid is that most on here had no idea who this kid was when he was taken in the 3rd round, and a some who claimed to actually have seen him play gave horrifying reviews of his game, which scared most into thinking Kanzig was a huge reach and almost a waste of a pick in the third.
Nobody expected much, and that there seems to be an upside with lots of raw potential in the works has people excited. I myself, based on other posters reports on draft day, had imagined a monster guy who skated like the guy from the movie "Goon". I'm pleasantly surprised that's not the case, but understand there is lots of work to do before he makes it.
