Bill, If Dillon makes the NHL roster this year, do you think Oleksiak and Patrick Nemeth make a good pairing on the AHL club or would they be better served split up and paired with a more experienced player. Also, do you think either or both have a chance at seeing some NHL play time this year or is that pushing their development too fast? It seems like Nemeth's development is going to depend on how fast he adjusts to the North American game conditions.

I'd like to see the two rookies each get an experienced partner. I do think there's a chance Oleksiak in particular could wind up seeing some NHL time this season. Nemeth is a virtual clone of Nicklas Grossmann, and I think his development path will take a similar course. Nick also benefited from his AHL time.
