Very few players ever play "above" the competition, and young players even less so. Thats the stuff of all stars, etc.
When has Joe Colborne, Paul Byron or even Glencross or Stajan played "above" the competition? Same goes for probably 16 guys on every 20 man roster. They are there because they can play with the competition. Sometimes they win and sometimes they lose. Only the all star type players end up above the competition frequently rather than "at" the level of competition. That's how I see it anyway.
