Ottawa might surprise in a couple of years if they can find a goaltender. They had a lot of talented players that were all sold.

Dorion actually might be doing better than Gorton.

For sure, if he can stay healthy. I'd prefer we give Tampa the pick this season and move on.

In the unlikely event JB somehow managed to acquire a late first somewhere along the line it would ease the pain.

Van's in a playoff spot so he will make an "upgrade" and trade someone on the roster plus 2nd in 20' for more playoff experience.

they need to hang on to their picks, I really don't think the window is fully open yet. Plus we have lots of "experience" right now.

If Pearson or Leivo score 20?

I would forget about the first

I like them both. I'm trying to figure out who my whipping boy will be this season.

Right now i'm leaning toward Sven

I like both Pearson and Leivo also but if they score 20 they will want raises next year.

It wouldn't make sense to get rid of that many picks but hey don't know how the season has gone yet.

I think they have assembled a good mix of players with a players that are "hungry" like Leivo, Ferland, Benn, Myers, Pearson that feel they have something to prove.

I think this is svens breakout / healthy year with 50 points. I'm picking Leivo as this years whipping boy. Assuming LE is in Utica.

I really like who they've added. I hope the chemistry works.

Pearson might. Maybe. Leivo will be waived by Christmas.

I know it sounds cliche but this could be an interesting year.

This skilled draft pick Hogslander still says he is playing NHL this year. I have to admit I am also curious to see Rafferty also. They will push guys like Leivo Sven and Stecher to be at their best or passed.

I am anxious to get this show started.

Toughest part for any GM and coach is hoping the chemistry works. On paper it looks fine but it has to translate.

Every kid says that. I wouldn't get too excited. I don't see it.

Exactly, I think Ferkland will bring some passion and energy, hopefully it spreads.

It might take a little longer, probably see a bunch of hot and cold nights.

STL made quite a few changes and it took them time to gel.

See if the losses are by a single goal or multiple goals.

I know that but this kid has Barzal type hands. I expect him not this year but next year . Some kids prove you wrong though.

Lets not forget Barzal also played out his full time in junior before making the jump. NYI developed him properly.

We heard that about Dahlen as well, let these kids simmer.

If Van makes the playoffs, doubt he gets a sniff of NHL action. AHL maybe though,
