Well when you have a Chris Terry moment, it is kinda special...and thanks so much for remembering.
The thing that I like about McLovin is "he sticks his nose in"....he's got good size and knows how to use it to get himself in position...that and the fact that he's fast as lightening. My sense was that he has a game that "could" get him to the NHL sooner than later. He's never going to be a 1st liner, but 3rd liner w/scoring upside seems to be his ticket to the show.
Adding to the Zykov and Wallmark comments...where those guys seem to make the grade is in how their games translate to the next level. Wallmark has great vision which leads to his pedigree as a good distributor. His coach in Sweden commented one time that "if we could only get him to shoot", because he had an under-rated shot. During the playoffs in his last season with Lulea, he potted 7 goals on his way to 9 points in 11 games. His coach had a bit of an "I told you so" moment. He's also quite good in the FO circle. Zykov plays a simple, heavy game and he, too has deceptive speed. He's always been known as having a wicked wrister. Despite Saarela, Gauthier, and to a lesser extent, Roy getting all the "next in line" hype. Wallmark and Zykove, to me, are the most ready and probably the most likely early season call ups should injury or slump surface.
