Soderstrom might feel like he's going to be a Roadrunner for his entire career with us. He's RFA after this season. When does he become eligible to sign somewhere else? When do we lose his rights?
It's crazy Maccelli is still only 23. The young group we have in the league right now is bananas considering all the high picks we still have in the minors.
His waiver exemption is up after this season so if he doesn't make the show he might be lost on waivers.When do we lose his rights?
But we should always add caution to our optimism:

Nope, he's a winger, you're thinking of the other Raty brother Aatu - he's the CI believe Raty is a C as well. rt said that Doan played C at ASU, so maybe next year he gets a try there?

No. lolDid we draft the better brother this time?

The big difference isn't what's in the pipeline, it's that a pipeline actually exists. You can't just make a few picks and then act like the rebuild is over which is of course exactly what Chayka did (probably directive from Barroway). You have to know some of those picks won't reach their ceiling, some won't pan out at all, some will want out, etc. which is why you keep the pipeline flowing. If you do it right, the pipeline will slow itself down because suddenly your picks are in the 20's due to your success but if your teams on ice performance is still getting you top 10 picks...that means you absolutely still need them!2017-18 team? This season's group is better, and more importantly, what's in the pipeline/draft pick bonanza is much deeper.
I deleted some of the vets from this list, leaving essentially the core group of young guns. Keller is an old man now.

Doaner and his 2 pts per game average didn't make the cut.

I think there's only a few people who refuse to acknowledge that fact at this point. Some people like to act like the rebuild started the moment BA was hired but it's well known he basically spent that whole first season getting a lay of the land. The OEL trade was the harbinger!I’ve been saying for the last year that the rebuild began with that trade. Glad to get confirmation that Bill agrees.
He needs to be A guy, not THE guy as there will be other talented forwards in his age range. That’s a beautiful thing.Guenther is going to be a star. What a fine add he was with that pick. Huge fan of a lot of our guys, but something about Guenther strikes me as a 40+ goal scorer for many years.
There's bound to be setbacks, but I think they have the right coach and teammates with the attitude / integrity to move forward through them and come out better.It’s hard not to like these guys. They are just so much fun to watch. The next few years will be some awesome growth for these guys.
Oof.“We had him third overall on our list for a reason,” Chayka said. “He’s a foundational player for us. You can’t trade for guys like that.”
yeah, but not a good oneOof.
That said, I think he can still be an NHL player.
Who makes the jump this coming year?
Isn’t that -18?17th overall in league scoring with 226 GF
24th over all in goals against with 244 GA
Difference of -22
We need to address our defense heavily. We need a solid pair of shut down guys that can clear the front of the net and have a knack for clearing the puck out without icing it.
Keller - Cooley - Guenther
Maccelli - xx/hayton - Crouse
Carcone - bjug - doan
Mcbain - Kerfoot - xx
Moser - Durzi
XX - XX
Valimaki - kesserling
Ingram
Veg
Trade Schmaltz for defensive help
Court picks in a package to replace schmaltz
We need likely three external upgrades. Two on D and idelly another two scoring forwards.
Who makes the jump this coming year? Geekie? Soderstrom? No one in Tucson looks to be making the jump outside of Soderstrom or koly.
