When I saw the trade, I thought 'this guy watches Hitmen games'. And to be honest, I do put quite a bit of stock in what your own eyes tell you. The trick is whether other people in the various leagues (coaches and GMs) see it as well, and give the kid the opportunity to play.
An example of a bad way that it could go, is Jake Bean still languishing in the AHL, when he should have had more than a cup of coffee by now. A good example, on the other hand is Braden Point, those who saw him play new he was a star, but the numbers didn't say that on their own.
