This happens over and over with young talents - they are superstars at 18, so everyone assumes that it is guaranteed that they will be stars in the NHL too. But it does not always happen.
Just a few weeks ago, there was ongoing debate about how well the Canucks rebuild has gone, and how they now have a core to build around. But the fact of the matter is that there is no guarantee at all that guys like Pettersson and Hughes will be as good as fans assume.
They are eggs, not chickens.
