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.

I think it's pretty evident we could have drafted Bedard and he would be similar to Carlsson in that there would be flashes of brilliance mixed with constant disappointment. And, however good you think he looks in CHI, he would be looking much less good here.

The whole team is a game time decision?
