Anytime the games have been “big” the team comes out flying and have absolutely dominated opponents.

That could end up being a top 10 pick. No way that should go to the Devils.

We ain’t getting stomped the boys are hungry!

Anything can happen in a short tournament and let’s not pretend this improving young team doesn’t have warts. It isn’t a juggernaut. Point is I’d want to keep that pick in the event that it’s 8-12.

Yep - our best players are our youngest ones. They should be able to jump right in without losing as much of a step as the older players (See Boston). My only concern is Marky... hasn't played in a while. Might be prone to letting in the odd "bad" goal again? Or will he go straight back to almost-Vezina caliber play?

What’s kinda funny is mike would be a pick they mouth breathers should like, he’s got lots of skill and high ceiling which is usually a good thing with those clowns. He’s the opposite of “meat and potatoes”. What’s interesting is he’s super buds with carter Savoie, both are playing in Denver next year.

If we take him, and if he pans out, i want to see them credit Brackett with finding this kid. That'd be about as good as internet gets for me.

Two big ifs of course, but...

It should really happen before free agency July 1st. Nothing is going to stop that date, you can bank on that.

By the way. The older guys will be more likely to get up to speed quicker than most young ones.
