I'm happy with the direction, still the head scratchers though.

our d depth is getting better, damn we walked away from 2 prospects that looked like they were doing okay for late round picks.

I didn't care about the Mackenze Stewart pick before, but it seems odd we keep a long shot project and release 2 better players.

I think Benning found better options than Olsen and Neill. You can't bring in 6 new rookies every year and in the last two years we brought in Hutton and Stecher. They look a little more long term than Bartowski Weber and Larsson .

It is a bit of a slow process but Chatfield looks decent and Brisebois may be a NHL player and of course Juolevi.

It is getting better.

I think Makar could be that guy. I know I will be crucified for this I have him over Lilgergren and Heiskonen. Dallas and Colorado both need D I don't see him on the board before us. I still think we need a centre.

Why would you be crucified? Makar is way better than Liljegren

He is signed to a contract. Neil and Olsen suck!

Not really.
They have a few prospects with potential but far from 'a lot of young forwards'.

If they are not rushed into the NHL in order to appease an emotionally fragile fan base, we do.

I think the Comets are going to more fun to follow this year than the Canucks.

I have nothing against Green at all. I honestly hope he does well. He was not my first choice though. He may be just what this team needs.

Edit: He just better not F2ck with Cloutier again.

You should try smoking some green before you go straight to hating.

Comets aren't going to be more fun to follow if Boeser/Stetcher/Goldobin are in the NHL.


Juolevi and Dahlen won't play in the AHL next year. It's basically going to be Demko and random prospects again unless Goldobin is sent down.

I don't see it this team is going all in on youth.

Exactly, Brock is a lock to make the team unless he really sucks in camp/pre-season. Same with Stetcher. So basically it's really only Goldobin that could classify as an "exciting" prospect in the AHL.

Comets are going to be boring to follow again next year.

Dahlen is NHL or back to Sweden, that's how they got him to sign. He originally didn't even want to sign this year, wanted to play another year in Sweden. That's what he told the Sens before the trade.

Rest aren't really exciting to me. Subban can be fun to watch in the AHL, but it's not that exciting because you know his NHL upside is limited.


@ including Raddysh and Heiskanen

Demko, Goldobin(if sent down) and maybe JV/MacEwen if one of them surprise. Zzzzz

Dahlen will likely be in Utica. He should provide a legit first line option
