and i think he is ultimately going to be the best of the defensive prospects you guys have accumulated.

granted, not much of a total limb there, but still.

Sad but true, still think if they allow Morin to develop & not rush him he'll be solid as well.

i know you cant teach size, but i just really think there is such a premium on puck skills.

i think ghost has some offensive flash to him, but sanheim just seems to me to have a much more rounded skillset.

i think it will be sanheim who eventually ends up QBing the PP, and not ghost.

No doubt, not sold on Ghost as others are but still want him to do well.

I like Morin but he's not ready

I'm really happy that even our offensive d prospects (Ghost and Sanheim) both already have good defensive games. That's huge.

does ghost have a solid defensive game already? he seemed somewhat light and often physically outmatched.

much like the same problems pouliot is going through right now.

Ghost can do this offensively...

[url]

Defensively you hope he can he'll be serviceable at best at least imo. I think he's gonna be an offensive specialist type guy out the back and you hope with enough experience that defensively he's just a guy who doesn't lose games for you. So at best a 3-4, more than like a 5-6 pairing. Which is fine as long as he can provide the skating, puck moving, and booming shot of his on a consistent basis.

Sanheim seems to have it all, skating, passing, smarts, defensive game down so he's definitely the guy who i think can be a number 1 guy if everything goes well and Morin and Hagg are guys who could complement Sanheim on that top line but more than likely 3-4 guys.

If I'm being honest, he's had opportunities to keep the lead but hasn't been all that sharp lately.

I hate IPA, but this was tolerable.
especially after the first glass.

surprisingly, i feel little.

sorry, I lied. not a 40. 32oz.
weird amount.
like a wine bottle

You get used to the bitter of the IPA...after the first glass. 32oz is still respectable, it isn't going to put you down, but you should feel it. Bombers (could be a nickname, not sure what they are called in the business) are wine bottle size, and typically less than 2 12oz beers all told. Great money-maker for the breweries.

I guess we have to pick it up then. Hexy can start making deals anytime now... Start trying to stock our draft.
Motto mention they gave Mason a 2-3 week diagnosis... They should make it a minimum 4 weeks before they consider putting him back in
