You seem to be taking this far too personally that if he gets drafted and isn't successful somehow you will be blamed?

Why would I feel responsible if he doesn't pan out? I am saying it isn't fair to the kid if he has unrealistic expectations placed on him and then gets backlash from those who made those expectations. Fans turn on players easily, look at how excited everyone was to get Huberdeau who has struggled to fit in here. He is a nice guy, he is trying, he helps with the community, and yet most Flames fans will tell you what a useless pos he is. Now you take the son of the greatest player to play for this team and you put ridiculous expectations out there for him, it's unfair.
