Unlike some fans, NHL scouts and GMs know that 21 year olds haven't hit their full potential and still have a lot of room for improvement. NHL GMs and scouts understand that development doesn't always come fast and furious and that some players have some ups and downs early in their careers.

A lot of our fans don't seem to grasp these points. Impatience rules the day.
