Almost but not nearly as amazing as Eichel, Reinhart, Cozens, Mittelstadt.

It's over. I'd be shocked if either is back, let alone both.

I guess I am thinking a different way, I think we have enough here to add pieces right know and be competitive and keep building from there.
- Buff36


Maybe if the goal is playoffs?
I’d prefer to try to build a team that can contend for the Cup though
Unfortunately.... that most likely means picking high in 2022 at least- maybe again in 2023

Always liked Fast, and I'm not sure why 😂

Just one of those players for me, I guess.

Well we shall see, all just words right know. Start worrying about it when it starts to happen.

2nd overall pick, 2nd overall pick, 7th overall pick, 8th overall pick.

*Hides*.

It’s a shame that we couldn’t get to the playoffs this season or last and enjoy our cup contender core.

Could be. In 5 years.

Or Jack, Sam, Cozens, Mitts could be next year.

There's been a tendency to get overzealous with prospects.

I still think one of Cozens or Mitts would have to move to the wing in that scenario.

Can’t have a top 6 caliber forward playing on the 4th line. They need to be in the top 6 or at least top 9 playing more minutes

Besides, Brady is better than matthew.

This place sometimes....

Bradys a top NHL player and is absolutely untouchable

- Boss34


Stats the last 2 years:

Matty T:
123games, 36goals, 101points
82game pace: 24goals, 67points
*did have a 77point season 3years ago though

Brady T:
127games, 38goals, 80points
82game pace: 25goals, 52points
*most points in a season in his 3years is only 45pts, but he was on pace for 53pts this season

Olofsson:
110games, 33goals, 78points
82game pace: 25goals, 58points


What’s the above mean?

Brady isn’t definitively better than Olofsson, let alone his brother
Matt has Brady’s tenacity, PLUS the ceiling of being near a PPG player

Thinking Brady is among the league’s best is nonsense though
He is a “good” player- NOT a “great” one



***i screwed up adding with Marty’s point totals
They’re now fixed
My bad

Right now it seems like we're pretty much (frank)ed but im going to stay postive

I believe with the prospects we Receive in sam and jack trades we will build a team like the avs in the end

Mittelstadt’s emergence has definitely helped. He can be a 2B to Cozens’ 2A.

We will lack a 1C though unless we luck into Wright next year
