Think you misunderstood me. By pumping the breaks, I meant people can't be so quick to expect things from him, hes only 19. I don't think he should have been put in the AHL so soon.

He’s a top 10 pick. And will be 20 in 2 days.

He’s played 100 AHL games and cannot score with any consistency.

There’s reason to worry.

I know this will probably start a poop storm and it was only one game but look at how invested Kane looked in game one on a team with a winning culture and great arena atmosphere

No you didn't : :

He had no business developing in the AHL

Not only was he a questionable pick at the time when we should have been picking defense, Murray royally messed up his development by trying to rush him into the North American game

and why is that? Because this organization F'ed up his development. Should have never been put in the A at 18. Then we surround him with Cal O'Riley, who was brought here to keep his brother happy. If we are at the same with him this time next year then I'll worry. Injuries have hurt. I think he will be an okay player in 2 years

EH, It also falls a lot of Nylander.

He could have spoken up, he could have done a lot of things to help himself, which he didnt.

Regardless of all that, he still is not performing at a good rate. It is concerning, to me.

There is really only one way to learn how to play on the different ice rink, and fundamentals are still the same. Nylander failed to adjust, that's on him too.

I could understand this if it was a lot of European players struggling, but its not.

Many Europeans stay overseas until they are older than nylander is.

I am excited to watch the sabres game tonight and see a great team

the sabres will also be on the ice

You don’t draft players in the top 10 to struggle in the AHL 2 years later

If he doesn’t make the Sabres out of camp next season, or really start to score in Rochester, things will look very dim

I usually put 100 on red, I’m in and out of there in 5 minutes. I have a pretty solid record 8-3. I do tend to focus to much on the 3 though.

They've reached and inflection point with him.

He still carries a decent amount of value to be part of a deal on draft day, but it'd be at a cut price and you'd run the risk of him turning into the best player in the deal.

Or you hold on to him and he either does hit his ceiling here or goes the way of marcel hossa.
