Yeah, I like to call it the Drew Doughty effect, Where fans want all their defencemen to be immediate impacts at 18. In reality, it takes most defencemen 4 or 5 years to even break into the league.
It is pretty funny that people will make bold claims about who or what young players will be, and be disappointed that an 18 year old isn't Drew Doughty.
