Meh….Kisakov, Rosen, Östlund, Kulich…..I have my doubts that any of them will become what I consider to be true top 6 forwards.  I realize Kulich has been with us for a while now, but I only consider him to be 3rd line material on a good team.  I had hopes for Östlund being a true center & playmaker and I think he’s the only one I still have hope for.

I see Östlund as a forsberg, I give him one more year tbh

He’s flashed a bit in the AHL but has yet to show signs he’s an NHL player. Hopefully he does something, 

If being 10th in goals scored last year in the AHL, and 5th this year, is "flashed a bit" then yes, he has.

Terrible news on Benson. 

Why all the banter on Rosen or who they call up?   No one in Rochester is replacing Benson.  

It’s time for the big guns to step up and not let things slip away.

You know they sure as hell won't.

Because he's a 20 year old kid playing big minutes against big men. I love Benson, but I'm surprised he hasn't been hurt even more and sooner. 

Excuses are old. He is an adult playing and adults game. He just seems to be injury prone.

He’s played 71 and 75 games his first two years. This year’s initial injury was from a puck to the face. He has not proven to be injury prone.

Depends on the first name.  Either way, those are lofty expectations. I’m assuming Filip as Petr is a little too lofty.
