Todd Cordell: On Michael McLeod and Nathan Bastian

Fist

I can definitely see McLeod getting a chance to play this year. Doubt Bastian will get a chance this year, but who knows.

I honestly think it's McLeod's spot to lose at this point.

He shouldn't

I believe Bastian Will be AHL eligible in December so he should be able to get some better seasonings this season and come to camp next season ready to compete

Yes but Mcleod is a Right handed shot .Meaning he can PLay RW.

Mojo - Zacha - Mcleod
Henrique -Nico - Speers / Blandisi
Wood - Boyle - Noesen

The future for Mcleod has to be in the middle.

Agreed.

I agree but with the log jam of centers we have if he is ready to make the jump and the coaching staff doesn't see him benefiting from another year in juniors he might have to play wing this season

completely unrelated.. I miss when we had young guys in the system like Elias, Sykora, Gomez.. dynamic players.. top 6 guys.. good times.

Fingers crossed on McLeod, Zacha, Hischier.. and even Speers and Quenneville.

Those 3 are going to be good. The other two are question marks. I think Quenneville will be a productive 3rd line NHL player.

I agree I have those 3 as becoming top 6 players and Quenneville, Speers should become quality middle 6 players

Blandisi as your extra skater. Trade Henrique (as much as I hate to say it) and a 2 for Vatenen and a 3.

Greene - Severson
Vatenen - Moore
Mueller - Santini

I thought, even when we drafted him, that he would only be a potential bottom 6 guy.

Bastian will get a chance. Probably not with McLeod unless McLeod is a bust but bastian could be a 4th line type guy if he pans out. He is 6'4 225 or wtv

Should have drafted Lemieux.

For what it's worth he looks decent enough.

if we could trade with Buffalo for Alexander Nylander we'd have the whole Nylander-McLeod-Bastian line on our team! CHEMISTRY!

Should have drafted Lemieux.

We can still trade hischier for him before his value drops
