If the bastards even do that much...I had one tell me they'd get me a cot for the terminal. Fortunately I was in the Navy at the time and had other people volunteer to give up their seats for me.

yes

Like I said I meant top 6 not top 9. I like Cousins a lot I was really encouraged watchin him in preseason esp vs Caps prospects. I think he is will be a black ace this year (I think that's what they are called) and will have a chance to make the team next year if Downie walks and no one is resigned.

IMO, Cousins, Akeson, Straka, Leier are all skilled guys who are either going to make it or break it as scoring-line forwards. As unlikely as it is, any one of them could pull a Matt Read. Laughton definitely looks like a top 6/9 forward -- maybe not immediately, but the kid has a complete game.

Of course, no Jonathan Drouin's or Anthony Mantha's in the system, but that's a function of focusing on D and fast-tracking prospects (Coots) to the pros.

Akeson is definitely a top-6 player. Think a poor man's Briere on the wing. Sadly, he probably has no future here, but may be able to catch on with a Nashville-type team that needs scoring help.

Cousins is probably a bottom-6 player. He put up great junior numbers, but his game is more tailored to a pest-type in the NHL. Again, think a poor man's Brad Marchand...maybe Downie's a good comparison.

Straka and Leier, I don't know much about them. Leier has been a pleasant surprise so far. Definitely a top-6 AHL player, will have to see from there. As for Straka, again, I don't know much about him, but he seems like a guy who could maybe one day work on a 3rd scoring line.
