True. It seems as if he was annoited (or promised?) a status he never deserved. To have this many top 15 picks (Grigs, Girgs, Risto, Mitts, Nylander) Turn into two NHL defenseman is troublesome. The Sabres really needed these picks (as well as Sam, Jack , 26) to turn into studs. Jokiharju is promising, Risto is serviceable but if they don't get Mitts to be something, we are talking about whiffs on almost every pick outside the top 2.
