maybe i have rose coloured glasses on but i really think people need to temper their expectations. not everyone can come in and be an instant difference maker. the flames have been lucky in having a few years where rookies came in and lit the world on fire (monahan, gaudreau and tkachuk), but not everyones development curve is the same
i'm satisfied with what i see so far in a 21 year old player who needed to adjust his game for the pro level. he wasn't going to go end to end and bury 30 wraparounds against nhl calibre defensemen
