Great post by Darren Haynes on looking at prospects.
Quote:
Be excited. Be optimistic. But also, be realistic.
Not to be the porcupine at the balloon party, to quote a chortling Bob Hartley, but both of these young men are still a ways away.
I’ve seen some fans suggest Parekh should get his nine NHL games before the club decides whether or not to send him back to junior.
Have you looked at the schedule?!
In Vancouver. In Edmonton. Sidney Crosby and the Penguins, the Hurricanes, and the Jets visit the Saddledome. The ninth game is in Vegas.
Fans have been pleading for the team to rebuild. Conroy has obliged, yet here in step 1 of many, now some want to fast-track the club’s top prospect to the NHL?
Love the enthusiasm. But let’s pump the brakes on the timeline.
The NHL is not the right place to learn the pro game. That’s what the AHL is for. Especially if you’re a defenceman.
