McKenna '26
Dupont '27
Cup '30

By '31 we can bring in Bedsy after he ditches Chicago. He'll be a UFA by then if they don't lock him up long term.

So might have to shore up the scoring that year!

Ryan Roobroeck - 6'4 C, Canadian kid, ranked anywhere from #2 - #23 depending on the source
Viggo Bjork - 5'10 C/RW, Swede, ranked #4 - #22
Tynan Lawrence - 6'0, C, Canadian, ranked #2 - #13

...lets send resumes in to AIG AP.

Apparently they will hire anybody so we have a shot....

We have a few Viggo equivalents, I'd be inclined to take him later in the first.

Lawrence will be interesting as he just joined a solid BU team so he may not get playing time and likely will be playing there full time next season. Put up good numbers in the USHL though.

Roobroeck I don't know a ton abut but like his size, doesn't have a ton of PIMs so not sure if he uses much of it.

True, sort of a Hoglander 2.0. I might be biased from his performance at the World juniors.

'Not getting injured by contact with other players' is making tremendous and effective use of size.

Where is that from?

Is that the new standard of physicality? Not getting injured by contact with other players?

Although still an upgrade on the majority of this team now.

That's just me. Sorry that my punctuation choice made it look like I was quoting someone with a more authoritative opinion.

I based my conclusion on the career trajectory of EP40. I know the majority position here is that most of the problem is mental. I don't know that it isn't. But I think that there is a substantial chance that his physical abilities have been eroded by what seem like relatively minor injuries.

All good, wasn't sure if it was a scouting report or not.

Like when you move pipe cleaners back and forth too quickly, they become soft and lack strength.

Pettersson moved his pipe cleaners back and forth too much
