I agree let's at least watch them play in the NHL, before heaping expectations on them. However, it's my own personal hope and I don't see how that should effect you in any way. Doesn't mean I'm not more inclined to think they can be very very good. So long as we don't throw them more than they can handle they are going to be very good.

That's fair, I just know that when Sven was coming into the league the expectations we had for him were INSANE. I like when people get excited about our prospects but people tend to over value ours. Quick is a Stanley cup winner and now an Olympian. That's very tough to match.
