I hope so.

I freely admit I'm purely stat watching and relying on what I hear from others anecdotally but that's all any of us are doing on here so I don't feel guilty about that :laugh:.

I certainly hope that I'm wrong with my poorly informed opinion. I just wish he was putting up gaudier totals than he has. I feel like a 19 year old first rounder should be. But we'll see how he develops.

Okay. If you are stat watching he just put up his best point production in his WHL career which was good for top 20 amongst defenseman while missing camp and 10ish games.

Pretty much the same totals as last season though. 61gp 45 points versus 59gp 46 points.

Woulda liked more offensive growth than that but again, I'm purely stat watching so maybe there's other growth in his game that I'm not seeing that makes him look like a good bet to be an NHLer.

Perhaps his team wasn't as good? I don't know.
 
Pickering is not a top offensive defenseman, so offensive growth is not the end all and be all for him. He was compared to Travis Sanheim when drafted, mostly because of Hextall, but if he can become that level of player, I would be ecstatic with that.

If he can learn from Marcus Pettersson, that would also be awesome.
 
I still think it's hilarious that Kevin Hayes butted heads with Torts and was finally free only to go to the Blues where he felt he didn't fit in only to be moved to Torts' protege Mike Sullivan who has all the same ignorance without the loud personality.

Sucks to be Hayes.

To amazing success might I add. 8 games, 1 goal, 1 point and -1.


Edit: Wait, did Sullivan even coach or be a part of that? I think the only member of the Pens staff there was Ty Hennes. I looked at that staff and a name stuck out to me.

Scott Aldrich, uncle of Brad Alridch. YUCK. Mike Aldrich, Brad's father, is the Head Equipment Manager of the Sharks. I wouldn't want that family around my team.

That’s fun. Unless he shows he’s absolutely not ready in preseason, I say give him the nine game run.

After a dominant training camp from Yager

"Alright Brayden we're going to give you 9 games and see where things go. But we want to make sure to set you up for success and start you in a role you can learn in and also get a feel for the things you'll be doing moving forward. Although it comes with some risk and a learning curve, we're going to put you with one of the top players on the team... don't worry... we are confident you can handle it. Jansen? Can you come on in here... I want to introduce you to your new linemate."

-Mike Sullivan sometime a few months from now, probably
