Wait aren't they all like that

Just excited for him to get here and start leading

Yeah. I'd like to see those two come over at the same time too and grow together on Bingo. Add in Wikstrand if he can ever get his head out and you start to get some good young defense depth on the farm.

Add guys like Gagne and Perron and you've got a group that can come up through the ranks together.

I think Jaros will be better served playing another season in Sweden. He already has a decent role there and is developing the offensive side of his game. He's got a lot more offensive talent than Englund but Englund is a real physical specimen. We want Andreas in North America ASAP. His game is far more suited to the smaller ice surface. Jaros being a little heavy footed will have an easier time working on his offense on the bigger ice. Playing fewer games will also help his training if he focuses on getting quicker, he'll have more time to train and recover.
