Unless you have a ranking that includes character and grit ... GTFO.
This is what Starry was referring to Captain Awesome BTW. It's typically significant to have players with such high points per game, and they're often safer bets/bust less often. There's a reason a guy like Stranges or even Arcuri isn't on the list but Johnston, Stankoven, and Borque are. Even with some decent production, yeah there's a high probability Stranges, Arcuri, etc don't make a significant NHL impact. They may not ultimately all be 1st line players, but it would be surprising to not see Johnston, Stankoven, and Bourque at least contributing to the NHL Top 9.
It's not unrealistic to think Bourque, Johnson, and Stankoven could all be in the Dallas lineup within 2 to 3 years playing with Hintz, Robertson, Benn, and Seguin. Obviously, Gurianov is a bit of an unknown and could be gone by the point (free agency/trade).
Wyatt Johnston's 11 game point string just ended. I got to watch the 2nd half of the game. He wasn't noticeable good or bad, but he did have one shift with a stick-handling clinic in the offensive zone that unfortunately never resulted in a shot or scoring chance.
Roulette with a goal and assist tonight
I’ve heard him say it before. I think it’s his go-to call when Roulette scores.I hope Roulette puts a clause in his ELC that says no one is allowed to make puns based off of his name, the one in the clip was one too many.
The Athletic are doing their 2022 prospect pool rankings and are on #11. Stars still haven't made the list wonder where they end up. Didn't expect anybody to put our prospect pool anywhere in the top 10. Exciting to see and we are still not even in the re-tool stage yet.
Hard to imagine we could fall with the performances of Johnston and Stankhoven alone.Pronman’s pipeline ranking, at the start of the season, had the Stars at 11th. And that’s before our newest, shiny toys became some of the best among the junior leagues.
