Must say as someone who's complained in the past about Sweeney not leaving enough room for kids to get opportunities, and often signing overpriced vets instead while he's at it, he's done a good job of leaving that space this year, especially up front.
It may turn out we'll need to add down the road, especially in the top 6, but at least guys like Lysell and Merkulov look like they're going to get their chances to shine alongside Poitras and Lohrei. Good to see.
I feel like we busted this myth a while ago? We've been promoting from within for a while now.
Freddy, Beecher, Lohrei, Charlie, Pasta, Gryz, Carlo, Sway, Poitras, Brazeau etc etc everyone came from inside the system. We tend to have more of those than the old signed vets.
There was a point there during some injuries where we had like 5 rookies in not that long ago. Even last year the cheaper guys there were 50% that were young guys (Geekie, Boqvist, etc)

Yesterday my spidey senses told me that was a perfect landing spot for him. Happy for him, he'll do well there.
