It's nice to actually have some prospects worth a damn for once.

Very exciting. They may be busts, but hopefully Q, Zacha, and Mcleod can all develop into what will hopefully be a quality bottom 6, but our high end talent is certainly lacking. I have no doubt that Ty Smith will walk straight into a top 4 role. His vision and speed is too dominant to ease him in on the bottom pairing. He is ready. As for Reilly Walsh, he is putting up great numbers, but 12 games in an ivy league school is not enough to tell me he is ready. Amazing how a small move like trading down (traded our 36th pick to Ottawa for the 42nd and 73rd, resulting in passing on Gabriel Gagne, and taking Blackwood and Joey Anderson) can bolster a prospect pool.
