Larrson, my bad. And O'Reilly obviously doesn't suck. Just so much dead weight. Never want to see Grant play again. Kuli is whatever. Bogo it not critical. Geoges blows ass. The list goes on.

Yeah . Impossible to have a perfect roster. Every team has the same issues with some of their players . Ours is just still too new to compete just yet. Other teams have been together a few years and established with chemistry and depth.

Vanek was a 35-40 goal scorer .. KO is not
- cabin

KO career high is 27 goals in a season

on pace for 24 goals


problem with him to get him to next level, he needs eichel not ror

okposo, eichel, reinhart
kane, ror, baptiste

boom

what holds back the perfect roster is

moulson, ennis, bogo, franson, gorges, kulikov

26.3 mil tied up there, over a third of payroll

get a few of them out in a year or 2 and round out your roster with value vets

gagner, pirri, vanek, campbell
etc

Then I would agree with you guys that KO is not vanek

I think everyone knew that light was going to be out soon that's number one reason why I did not draft hall ... But at first I was like you (frank)ed up CJ

yeah but if you round out your roster with cheap vets on 1 or 2 year deals, you have more flexibility

From the last blog:

I did a statistical analysis of every top 5 pick from 1995 to the 2015 draft and how long it took each player to hit full development.

There were some players that were more difficult than others to decide what their full development looked like, especially when it came to defense and goaltenders, but the results are a bit surprising.

I can post the full Excel spreadsheet if anybody knows of a site that hosts that sort of thing so everyone can see the result.
- kingcong39

Paste the results into a google doc that you can share out?

The key is cheap but productive vets...

Not the Cody Franson's of the world
