I started keeping a closer eye on the top prospects a little over a month ago. In that time, Hischier has 1 goal... I just haven't been impressed. Anytime I do skill set comps/projections, he comes out on the "poor man's" side of the equation. I don't hate him. I see potential. But he's not in my top 5.

He has mentioned that his wife and him like Van. It's only 2.5 hrs from LA. IMO he would rather play then sit on a bench. Besides he will get more money in Van the Cali.

The problem is we already spent to much.

I just hope Nux get a better player than Vietnam or anyone who likes Bieber music

They would be foolish to pay him what he made last contract. Someone will give him that though.

I thought the bigger mistake was him expecting someone would be impressed with Sedins LE and Chaput on the roster

Toying with line combos & the youth.
Assuming DD is done & Gaunce lost to LVGK.
Cramarossa & ??? R spares

We are going to finish last next year, you can shuffle it all you want, it will still be ugly

It took awhile but most of us have accepted this is a possibility.

Even though we suck, you can see potential with some of the young guys. Makes the games somewhat bearable.

There are good players for sure .

Lefty said yesterday next year is a good draft year. I think they are all good draft years.Even if there are no game beakers there are kids in the second third and fourth rounds that I want.

Another year of development for Bo Sven Granlund Stecher Tree and Hutton will have more impact than anyone we draft.

The process

Hey guys, for those interested, I went to see OJ and the Knights play yesterday. He looked really good. He's not a flashy player by any means, consistently makes smart plays. Very safe while moving the puck out of his own zone, doesnt' take stupid chances. He has the no look pass down to a science because he sees the ice so well, he set up a ton of chances. He also hit the post and had a couple other good chances but didn't register a point. He punched a guy in the face for getting to close to his goalie after a whistle and got a penalty, but he sucked the other guy into hitting him back, and they got double roughing minors. I don't think he's a difference maker, but he should be a solid smart player on the backline who can run the PP. Excited to see him at camp in the fall.
some other notes...
Victor Mete (plays like WCH/Marchard, not the dirty/idiot version) Brandon Crawley and Vande Sompel are the offensive D guys who really impressed me. Robert Thomas has great vision and made some amazing passes. Issac Ratcliff is a large stick of a human, great hands, awkward as F skating tho - Not sure whats to come of him. Cliff Pu was the standout, what a beast of player that kid is, like a young Trevor Linden. And a 16yr old on Guelph named Ryan Merkley, stick handling, vision, and what movement across the line, but has a lot to learn on the defensive side of the game.

Agree with all of this. This year I'm happy with whoever JB drafts.

With the new players via trades & Shore & Cramaross etc i don't see the Sedins in the picture here in 2019. Also with more LW depth maybe a Kane deal is brewing.
