Can't wait for tonight's game. Can't be worse than the 9-1 loss in Kingston over the holidays right (I was there too, thank god for KBC, Red House and The Merchant helping me drown sorrows/save the night lol).
Reading between the lines/scouting report on the new guys, is this mostly right?
Addy: Big body, good shot, like a lot of young players in that mold needs some work on his first step and using his size better but long term big power forward upside. Someone suggested he's in the Cam Butler mold and that would be a key piece in the top 6 (but maybe not the focal point of the offense) when this team is competitive again.
Young: Good skater, good vision, high compete level, great hockey smarts - I'm assuming the fact that he has all these attributes and wasn't a higher pick/higher regarded means his physical traits are lagging behind a bit (size, shot, etc) but sounds like he'll find a way to make an impact down the road either way.
Taylor: The potential star of the group with all the tools - size, shot, vision, smarts - and the highest upside but inconsistent effort and lacking a bit in skating/defensive abilities.
Strohack: Two way player, tough physical defender and willing fighter, sounds like he has some pretty legitimate transition game/skating abilities as well, not an offensive guy at this point but likely some potential for that down the road as well.
