Demidov will be something to watch all by himself. Yes even if Dach or Newhook is the centre he plays with.
Dobson will make this team better. Remember how much Carrier made this team better? Dobson will have a much bigger impact and I like Carrier.
Slaf and Hutson will only keep growing as players. I expect we will see Reinbacher sooner rather than later.
This is a very young team and some players will have to fight at camp to make this team. As it should be.
The team was a disaster before December last year until we traded for Carrier … he instantly solidified the right side of our D.
What seemed impossible (making the playoffs) to most of us fans eventually became a reality because we stopped allowing 5-6 goals to the opponent every night.
HuGo are slowly adding younger/better pieces to the puzzle and eliminating expensive contracts to overvalued players that Bergevin had signed … this is now becoming HuGo’s team.
Contrary to Bergevin who managed by the seat of his pants without any long term vision, our new management is purposeful and has a clear Drafting & Development plan.
Last year, I didn’t think we had any chances of making the playoffs … this year I feel much different.
