Smith is almost 2 years older. That's a lot of extra development.You're right, I shouldn't have expected him to be better than Givani Smith. Silly me!
Cmon man.

People really need to temper their expectations. This is getting a bit ridiculous.
YW - Both stations have games during the year. I check the Mlive game day to see which oneThanks man. Is 950 going to be the official radio this year? I thought it was the Ticket last year?
Dude, it’s literally his first ever pro game.
He’s going to be a stud.

He does have one of my favorite hockey names. Libor Sulak.I really like Sulak. Sucks he’ll (probably) never play in the NHL
Half those defensemen won't be on the team in the regular season.Why would Sulak never play NHL? Right now he looks better than half our defencemen.

I had him 9 on my board, so I think he has been better than I expected since the draft to be honest. I like him a little more than I did going into the draft. Still I am comfortable with him going to AHL and wouldn't be disappointed if that does happen. What people need to remember is he is a ruthless finisher so like a lot of those guys he can be seemingly not doing a lot for a little while then explode and impact a game. We need those kind of players, he has game-breaking stuff some believe that will be constant, I was never quite so sure last year, I hope he can become what guys like Frk It or Pronman talk about for sure.
I don't expect our old back-end to make it through the season healthy though. He should get a look at some point. Especially if he plays like this consistently. He is a ton better this year. Was the least impressive guy for me last camp, a lot of growth in one year. Most importantly tonight he is closing down time and space defensively more than a few times. This is encouraging. It looks like both Cholowski and Suluk are not far off. Hronek we assumed was ready. I thought Cholo was but I am high on him. Suluk looks capable so the next few guys might come draw in and just never come back out of the lineup.
Hicketts looks a little better too. Tough being a green d-man though in this league.
