Tank mode is in full effect. If the Blues and Canucks somehow pass us in the standings looking at picking around the #5 spot. Any word since Denver's season is over on Carter Mazur?

I think the pre exit meetings are in full swing. Seeing Zetterberg around more with Lidstrom and Yzerman you have the 3 former captains publicly together watching games with development/scouting (Cleary and Draper). If the team were playoff bound, we may hear more about any college kids who may be ready to make the jump but I think (and it feels like) a trimming conversation right now. There used to be an argument that by 23 - 25 your ceiling was fully visible. Well, we’re 5 years past the 2018 draft. Do we know the ceilings on Zadina, McIsaac, Veleno, Berggren and Regula? Zadina isn’t the scorer thus far he was projected to be, Veleno was supposed to be the “steal of the draft” and has shown speed and toughness. Berggren was assumed to spend the year in GR. The draft before, Rasmussen and Lindstrom are still around. Ras seemed to do well in the bottom 6, Lindstrom seems to be the 6/7 guy. Hronek was the last man standing from the 2016 draft. I have to imagine it’s a wide open discussion on how much different this team can look (again) next year. Maybe they will reach out to Mazur, but who knows where this is going
