I'm excited for the kid but it's a long season and too early to hand out manufactured superlatives.

Agreed - to argue that 33% of 18 year olds playing in the AHL went on to become very solid NHLers is ridiculous. Does he also have a 66% chance of flaming out and never making the NHL? Or a 12.5% chance of ended up in the KHL due to legal issues? The sample size is WAY too small to mean anything. All we know is he's a recent 2nd round pick...and MAY carry enough value to get something equivalent to that of a late 1st rounder now. Droiun is worth more than that.
