Around the NHL - (Off-season edition)

[The Midnight Burrito]

The vibe around our forward drafting would be a lot rosier in spite of all these numbers if even one of Gauthier/Carlsson/Zegras/McTavish were have a legitimately good year. But they’re not, the only one of our supposed “big 5” that belongs in a top 6 this year is Terry, a fluke 5th rounder.

Carlsson/Gauthier get a pass.

Zegras/McTavish are the ones who needed to take a step forward and their lack of progress is a big reason the team is still so shitty. Idk if I put it on them though, I need to see their progress in a new system.

I do think the forward drafting is an issue though. Or maybe it's a development issue. But something is off.
