think about this team making the playoffs and then the following season we get to add Simashev, But, Lamoureux, and Iginla

Future sure is looking bright
It's a good problem to have but it's hard to imagine being able to integrate that many rookies at the same time. I'm pretty sure they'll all be ready and will force the issue.

It'll be about getting them ready for playoff hockey, not about making the NHL right away.
Another question is who do they replace and then - when? I also don't expect it to be an easy answer for GMBA, as I figure him to overly care about the replaced players. I figure he'll be more incline to let them stay and develop in the A (or back to juniors as with the case for Tij and why I brought up giving him his 9 games THIS season). But nonetheless, it will be interesting how it will develop!

We actually have done an impressive job thus far incorporating youth. Guenther especially straling a job. Doan may also do that this camp

I’d prefer Iginla playing top line C in junior than 9 games as an 18 year old as a wing.
I would be very surprised if Doan is not in the top 9 from the get go.

My surprise could make the team guy is Matikka. Not likely, I know, as UHC have a lot of depth and the only way he makes it is to supplant a veteran.

I gotta say that I'm pretty damn excited for the season to start. More than I thought I'd be a few months ago.

I'm blown away by all the young talent BA has acquired. So much talent that it's easy to forget a player or two when thinking about the prospects in the pipeline that have potential.

It;s gonna be fun watching this rebuild unfold from here on out. Cup or not we should have some really entertaining hockey to watch for years to come. Best we've had since the Tkachuk-Roenick era. That's what I think (hope.)

Is there a legality that keeps them from posting the link on UHC's website too or is it that they just don't bother? Seem to remember the same with the Coyote's website in the past.

Edit: or am I just not finding it whenever I've looked?
