And it does seem to be the same people who make absolute predicitions about players either way.

You've confused Chris Lindberg with Where R U Chris O'Sullivan.
Chris Lindberg was the opposite. He gauranteed Backlund would be an NHL'er by Christmas of Backlund's 19 yo season, IIRC.
O'Sullivan is the Backlund hater, that gauranteed Backlund would leave for the KHL by 2013, IIRC.
