Boeser was drafted two seasons previous. I have been on board with most of the moves since February 2017. Before that it was a bit of a comedy of errors dating back to Gillis’s last couple seasons.

If Juolevi can crack this rear end rotation....and that shouldn't be hard right now....that would be an excellent run of drafting by JB and the scouting staff.

Championship teams are built this way.

What about when the Sedins, Kessler, Edler, Burrows were all being developed with a few years of each other or do you mean in 1 season?
That's 5 years between the Sedins and Kesler.

I was also talking about getting true top-end talent. We've had the twins and Bure.

It might be early, but we're seeing that top-end talent in EP, Brock and likely will in Hughes too.

Meanwhile JB has also simultaneously drafted very promising support talent like the Keslers, Edlers, etc. in Gaudette, Juolevi, Demko... and yes, I'm including Jake in that group.

Bo is doing the heavy lifting.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yes he is and he deserves a heck of a lot more credit for leading this team.

But I put him in the next tier level, like a Trevor Linden.

Eventually, and given the right line mates, on a consistent basis, I think Horvat's career will eclipse Trevor's.
I just don't expect Bo to have the kind of down years he did, some of them, not with us. A couple with us.
