Ok, so we're hedging bets because he's still in college? I mean, there's no other players we drafted that went to college who turned out to be good pros, right? Who could blame us for being skeptical?
The thing with being a pessimist is that, on average, you'll be right far more than you're wrong. The problem with being a pessimist is you'll fail to enjoy anything in life because you'll be waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's a miserable existence.

You don't think an undersized d-man is a long shot? Jesus, It's not being a pessimist, it's realty.
Adam Fox doing well in college doesn't mean he's not a long shot prospect. Being undersized and a d-man makes him instantly a long shot prospect.
My point still remains Fox,Gillies and Ferland gets the phone hung up on the Flames, wouldn't you agree?
