Someone had to spoil the great news, and here I thought we had 2 winners ? These guys are young, and still developing their man strength, but there is no denying that this Lucius guy has a nice set of scoring hands, ( hatrick) just has to work on the rest of his game. As for McGroarty, I haven't seen much of him, just hoping for the best.
I haven’t watched either guy enough to comment but it’s HFBoards so what the hell, often wrong, never in doubt!!
I love both kids character.
Development wise I feel Covid era, “injuries”, and an early exit from Minnesota have slowed Chaz’s progress to the point I am concerned about his future a bit. Glad he finished off the WJHC with a hat trick, maybe that event will spur confidence.
Rutger I feel the opposite about. I see a much more clearly defined style of play that I believe will translate well to the NHL. He needs at least one more season in Michigan, another world junior, then perhaps a season in the AHL but I am bullish on him as a prospect.
I reserve the right to be 100% wrong about my hot take.
I'm not saying they're bad prospects at all, I especially like McGroarty, I just think their tournament was just fine. Not an indicator of success or failure.
