The fans who are disappointed are the one's who think he is a 13th overall pick who scored 2ppg in the WHL. Unfortunately he's going to be a third year pro next year who can't seem to produce in the NHL or AHL and has to clear through waivers next year basically guaranteeing you lose him for nothing or just keep him on the roster effectively hurting the team. Honestly a 2nd round pick is pretty good value. It sucks that it's the Canucks but that was probably the only team willing to offer that value. There is a chance he finds his game in Vancouver but there is also a chance he doesn't and Van either wasted a 2nd round pick on him or wastes a roster spot on him. It's a bit of a gamble but I think the odds are with us on this one.
