The honest answer is no, I haven't. I do not pretend to be an expert scout or at forecasting player development. I have followed hockey for long enough to know that prospects usually do not fulfill the hype that they get. I have seen many who were considered can't miss, who did miss.
We'll see what happens with him. I hope he exceeds all expectations. I think expecting him to unseat veterans on the depth chart next year when he has basically never played in the NHL is getting ahead of ourselves.
