I know its popular around here to be scared of prospects and want to give to all their demands in "fear of losing them" but not appropriately managing someone because it might upset them isn't the way to set the organization or that individual up for success.

It's things like this which are why they spend so much time interviewing players and sometimes high profile players get passed over at the draft. It's not just the Russian thing, it's trying to figure out the mental toughness and reasonableness of prospects to being handled appropriately in the ever so important early development years.
