We should do a fantasy league here, not sure how I feel about keepers but I think a cap league would be fun.

I may not be the most knowledgeable, but I would be interested.

Exactly, I would argue this yr is a little more important for Moran, but there is still time with both of them.

Muzzin wasn't a high pick like Morin and Hagg, so it's far from a perfect comparison. But he was a dman who played his entire 22 year old season in the AHL for Hextall's Manchester Monarchs. Because the Kings were happy to be patient with their D prospects who weren't Doughty.

Now he's 27 and on Canada's World Cup team.

He's a pretty amazing story. Drafted in the 5th round by the Pens in 2007, but they let him go unsigned, passed over by every team in the 2009 draft, but then the Kings snatched him up as a free agent.

On the limited amount of times I've watched Haag, he doesn't do much to wow you, but he doesn't really do anything dumb either. I think if does as Bill wrote, and doesn't over think things, he could be a steady, reliable defenseman. Not sure at what level, but I don't feel like he's a flash in the pan either.

He's not really the biggest guy right? Similar to Ghost height? Or is that Petersen?

Hagg got a couple of inches and 20 pounds on Ghost.



Morin, Sanheim, Ghost, Hagg, Provorov last summer.

Petterson is the small guy. Hagg has some size to him.

Bill wrote that if you could put Petterson's will into Hagg's body, that player would be a top prospect.

Anton Stralman is another guy who comes to mind about being slow and steady with defensemen. He was traded and dumped around and didn't really settle in until 25 years old when he was picked up as a free agent by the Rangers. He was another guy who didn't really excell at any one thing.

Hope Morin added some bulk. Man he looks thin there. 20 Lbs would be helpful I think. Might be his height playing tricks with the camera angle but can't say for sure on that.

As for the rest based on Ghost in the middle they all look about your typical 20 something athlete.

Man that could be a scary D corps in a few years.

I put up 150+ points in one season w/ Ghost.

My favorite stat however was scoring 50 goals with Read but only registering 11 assists.

Re:NHL16

- hereticpride


I played one entire season. Played every game.

Giroux had 420 points (stopped there for reason)

No player who played majority of games had less than 100 points. On hall of fame. I stopped playing the games and just now do the GM crap.

No way MJL does it. Can't be a devils advocate while in a fantasy league.
