I found posts putting Pelech next to Bouwmeester on the top pairing, Pelech as a replacement for Sarich, etc, etc...

It’s a small thing, and I will readily admit that I am wrong about these things ALOT, but in the post of mine you quoted I did not promote the idea that Matt Pelech was a top-pairing defenseman.
In the end I think fans are optimistic. It’s fun to be optimistic. Why would anyone want to think or expect the worst about their favourite team’s young players? That sounds miserable.
