Wilkes-Barre coach J.D. Forrest was impressed by not just Yager scoring, but what position he was in and why he was there after making a smart and unselfish read to cover on defense.
“He’s a smart player. And for someone his age, he’s playing both sides of the ice with a level of maturity that you don’t often see with guys coming through from junior. I think he takes a lot of pride in that up-and-down game and making sure he’s responsible on the defensive side of things. But he has the ability to make plays, made a couple of nice slick little passes. The goal he scored tonight, he’s reloading for a D that’s pinching, which is a responsible thing to do. But it pays off on the offensive side for him. We think that’s something impressive for a young player to have already.”

Cross between McGahee and Lattimores knee injuries from college. I like Chubb too. Seems like a chill and humble dude even though he’s a top player. - Feds91Stammer

I still don't understand why we didn't re-sign Zucker. I'm pretty sure we could get him back for slight less than what he's making in ARZ if we gave him a 2-3 years deal.
Anyone here thinks Reilly Smith is a better player than Jason Zucker or can be more productive than him? I'll hope so. Last thing I saw from Smith was seeing him drunk on the cup parade and saying he could retire now that he got a cup in Vegas lol - Barnaby36
I thought we did make an offer for Zucker. It makes a lot more sense that Zucker didn't want to sign here, than the assumption the Pens didn't try hard enough.

McGahee is still the worst I’ve seen. That was the first time I’d ever been watching a game a saw something like that. Never even knew about ACL injuries before that.
Holy crap, I never heard of him before. 18 points in 16 games as a 15-year-old in his call up to the WHL after demolishing the U18 prep league. - jmatchett383

I think we were proactive using any possible money on Smith and Graves. Then Zucker didn't get the market he wanted and signed cheap, but we didn't have room.
