And then they have their top prospect, Parekh, who in my mind is the biggest boom or bust candidate, and at least a handful of forwards and a few more defenders that have a decent probability of a long and impactful career.
Superstars is a bit of overselling, but the confidence is legitimate.

I'm not sure what your definition of a long and impactful career is.
Is it 5 years, 10 years? And good do they need to be to be impactful?
I'd just that it's unlikely Pelletier will have a long and impactful career. That's a high standard for a guy who recently passed through waivers.
Prospects are prospects, and the failure rate is very high, even for good ones.
