When people like me suggested we mange expectations RE Baertschi we were sneered at. When we suggested a reality check RE Nemisz we weren't real fans.
Gaudreau has a LONG way to go to prove he can be an NHL player let alone a Kane level player. Monahan isn't Toews yet.
The point is simple. We have done a GREAT job in improving the prospect pool. We have players to be excited about. I am on board. But my expectation (RE the purpose of the post) is we are at the start of a rebuild and have a long ways to go.

We are starting from close to scratch. We have some holes that still need filling. That isn't a criticism of the prospects we have.

I wasn't making anything personal. You criticized the fan base as being too optimistic. I simply replied to your post with the same type of example to demonstrate that maybe your view was too pessimistic.
