I don't even think they're exceptions. WYSIWYG. That was the problem though. Their ceilings weren't rated as high. Sure they'll get better, but not as much as Pietrangelo MIGHT. Therein lies the risk.WaukeeBlues wrote:I guess that's why I'm kind of impatient myself. It had kind of sounded from the scouting reports like the 4 of those defensemen in the draft were all raring to go with Petro needing only a little touch up work and playing a different style/less physical. Seeing Doughty, Bogosian and Schenn off and running makes it a little more difficult to be patient I guess.Prngr44 wrote:During the draft I know they said he wasn't as far along in his progress at others but his ceiling was much higher.Nyghtewynd wrote:Is a player who can't play in the NHL and currently has so many flaws the type of player who should have gotten such a high draft pick?
I suppose it's the risk/reward factor in play.
Exceptions to the rule. I know.
I don't have a problem holding onto the entry level deal one more year. Sydor likely gone, Weaver likely gone, then you can insert his almost $4M cap hit into the lineup and start burning the RFA candle.
