I could be wrong, but I'd rather be a realist than get let down like I have been with just about every other prospect they have had in the last 15+ years.
yeah you should care. this kid is the type of player you want to have on your team. ive met him a few times during his stay here in saginaw as my family houses players for the team on occasion, and he is awesome. he has all the skill in the world, and more importantly he has the desire and the heart to make it. he will only make the hartford team better, and thereby i guarantee he will get a shot in the nhl. he is easily as talented if not more so than a guy like mike richards and mike is in the nhl.
