Our prospects are going to be perceived as "busting" a lot because of this "over cooking" mentality. Hopefully they don't just plateau and can take the next step.

There is no overcooking with Poirier. He's in his second pro season only and the times he has spent in the NHL, he has not looked ready.
He's barely dominated the AHL. All he has done thus far is "simmered", he's not even cooked yet, let alone overcooked.
