Dust has not settled yet, the Jack situation still up in the air. And I'd keep the ATM line together and have Samuelsson still in line up. Hope Pysak shows he still belongs in NHL.
Also have a bad feeling that none of this matters if the goaltending stinks.
The part I hate the most is how the skaters will get blamed when the goalies suck. Dahlin will “suck,” the forwards will be denounced, the calls to blow up everything will be everywhere.
Just remember, it’s the goaltending. Ok?
I like their strategy of picking highly talented people that might turn out to be superstars. The size doesn’t bother me, this is a fast league.
I wonder how much Granato has had a role in picking players. These small fast players seem to fit his style of constant motion and north south skating.
