You can't possibly know how good a player like Klimchuk will be, nobody knows the future. Stop pretending you do
For some fans there's never a right time to express doubt about a prospect. It's too early, too early, too early, too early, and then when they're cut loose at 24, it's what's the point in talking about that bust now? When was the right time to express doubts about the NHL future of Max Reinhart? How about Bill Arnold?
