yea. i think they are juding this by the players upside.
Kindl has the ability to be a #1 defenseman, Larsson and Mcollum top tier goalies, leino a possible 25-30 goal scorer and Helms biggest upside is a god 3rd liner. he's never gonna be a 30 goal scorer or get 60 point in a season. he's jsut gonna be a great energy guy like Clutterbuck is in Minnesota (though better at it than cal)
