You can't win with youth alone.
Why do you think the real contenders pick up vets at TDL. The good teams would prefer keeping more vets except the salary cap stops them.
How's that young team with all those top picks doing? What ... they're picking #1 again.
Yes, soon we'll be at the next level!
Oilers level!

I agree, I am looking forward to what's going to happen in the coming years - there might be another rough year directly ahead of us, though. There may be another infusion of incredibly young players. However, perhaps Helle can play well enough to stop the bleeding.Because they're the ones that are on ending contracts, and not locked up long-term on cheap ones. Deadline sellers aren't going to sell whatever prospects they have and give the buying team a massive advantage the year after.
I think this team turned the page tonight. The youth movement is real, the momentum is there, and there's nowhere to go but up.
great game (except hutch and pardy)
our young players collectively were fantastic
Tank can wait a game, I am happy with this victory. Scheifele, Ehlers and Armia beasting.

I haven't enjoyed a game this much since last year.
Armia has started to put up the points everyone predicted. I take back all the negative/skeptical comments I made about him.
I think the emotion of losing Ladd helped them win this game so it would be fair to call it the team's tribute to Ladd.
We saw the end of an era today and the passing of the torch. We have some good young players. They are going to be a lot of fun to watch.
Loved the Buff Roussel running battle.
Fun game to watch. I'm getting pretty anxious to get this season done with and get to the draft and next season already. This is going to be a looooooong few months...
