This is the kind of stuff I love, (no disrespect to you, but)

"Do we even know if Motte or Schmaltz can contribute on the NHL level?"

but,

"Jimmy Vesey can play on the 1L and take the Hawks to a SCF"

reality folks, grab some reality

I've admitted that I've only see the 3 players above play couple times, but i will say that the limited viewing, in college and world jrs, no way I would put Vesey ahead of either of them. I know he's older and probably stronger but I just was so impressed with Motte when I saw him play, and I thought that Schmaltz was the best guy on the ice in a couple of the world jr games, yes I know Auston Matthews was on the same team. Didn't say he was a better player, said he was the best guy on the ice in a game or two of that tourney.

Yes! Stats for Motte v JV posted up thread - Motte's were marginally better. Know that JV is a few inches taller, but as others have pointed out perhaps Motte plays bigger than his height? We shall see.

So I would assume if Hudler signs elsewhere we will see the return of Fleischman?
