Jon Merrill, Derek Forbort, Danny Biega and the list goes on of top scoring college defenseman who didn’t pan out. Not saying Fox won’t be great, but he’s not a guarantee. As for Andersson, you know who else projected to be a 3-4 Dman a few years ago, Wotherspoon. How’s that working? I like the enthusiasm for our prospects but you need to pump the brakes a bit.

Ok, none of those D men you just mentioned had the numbers or showings of Fox. Did anybody honestly ever project Wotherspoon to be anything more than a 5-6 guy? I sure didn't and can't remember anyone thinking that. A better example might have been Kulak, I thought he had a chance to possibly be a 3-4 guy.
