Cant blame Fowler for that last goal, Hayes with the failed clearing attempt caused that goal, Fowler went to play the puck at the same time Hayes dived so no chance at all.
A successful season overall for the farm, they just missed fuel at the end with all the injuries.
On the bright side:
-Dobes graduated
-Reinbacher came back after a knee surgury and played a signifiant amount of games for a couple of weeks, will he be ready next camp? We will see, but he isnt far from NHL ready.
-If Engstrom can clear some questionnable mistakes at times, we got a good NHLer there IMO, the skating/puckhandling combo is top 4 material. He had good playoffs from the games I watched and cut on those mistakes, so its promising.
-Mailloux got injured at some point, but had a good end of season, we will see what Hughes will do this summer, but I think hes got NHL potential.
Up front its thinner, but still some interesting players... I would say that Kapanen needs to bulk up if he wants a spot in the line-up next year, more finishing would be nice too.
Beck isnt ready, but I like his speed, motor, compete, needs to get stronger as well.
Xhekaj had a nice progression through the year, Im not expecting him to be ready next fall, but definitely someone who will crack the line-up at some point on the bottom 6.
Roy had some up and down, still needs to develop better consistency.
Davidson needs to add an extra gear to his skating.
Alright thats about it, dont know what Hughes will do this summer, but I presume we will see alot of action, stay tunned!
