I'm not usually one to get angry at prospects, so even if he disappoints, I doubt I will add to much fan discord (if that even matters in the grand scheme of things).
Either way, I'm not expecting him to be of MacKinnons level, as that guy seems to be the complete package. I see Johnny as more of a Fleury/Loob/Nilsson/Huselius type that adds a lot of skill and fun to the game, but I wouldn't want to put all the responsibility on their shoulders.
But yeah, I'm definitely way past Nathan Gerbe expectations. While he may start in the AHL, I totally wouldn't be surprised to seem him stick with the club this year and get 15-20 goals.
