Not suggesting he is not a great prospect, but what exactly is fueling the optimism?
Meanwhile Gilles, Ortio (and to a lesser extent Reinhart and Wotherspoon) have all been elite at multiple levels. I think that forwards tend to get a bit more hype personally and I would have him ranked below Gilles, ortio and wotherspoon.

Well Klimchuk should dominate the WHL this year much like Baertschi did in his 19 year old year. Klimchuk should go and do well at the World Juniors. Those are the expectations.
I think fans sometimes are a little wary about goalies so I can see many of us downranking them slightly because they are wildcards.
