Pascarak needs to make it big so John Cusack can play him in his bio-pic

Actually gonna be hard to get (and keep) all of these kids in Washington. gotta have vets and only so many middle 6 spots. Would be great if one of them surprised and became a legit top line player.

I would not be surprised if Leonard was a legit top line player. Actually, I expect it. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't.

always extra good when the head-scratcher off-the-board picks pan out. Hope Parasek continues to develop.

I do too. To start, I think he is more of a 2nd/3rd line guy. When OV leaves there will be a 1RW spot available for Wilson, Leonard, Miro. We need someone to grab and prove they are legit first line guy.

Leonard will have a year in the NHL to develop before Ovi leaves; my best guess is he'll be a decent 1st line player by year 2.

My projections for Leonard point-wise are that his first season he'll end up with somewhere between 35 to 65 points, but probably closer to 40-45. (The ranges I have are not his absolute limits, but something around the 10th percentile to 90th percentile projections and then his 40th to 60th percentiles.) Then he'll have a couple seasons between 40-80 points, but more likely between 55-60. Then at his peak he'll be anywhere from 50 to 120 points, but probably between 75 to 95 points. The upper limit of his peak is the hardest to project, because it's dependent on a lot of things external to Leonard, too. And of course all of this assumes that the scoring levels stay as high as they are currently.
