Hanley is perfect as the extra defenceman. Honestly we should let Gleason (and Honka) walk. Opens up two slots for younger guys to come in maybe a couple CHL signings. Dallas has historically had success in this category (Benn, Dillion)

Isn’t Gleason already like the youngest defender in Texas not named Harley?

Dawson Barteaux is 2 years younger and there's two guys named Martin ( Max and Luke , not related ) but they're not signed with Dallas.

But yes Gleason is still young enough that there's no reason to let him go just yet. He's been at least good enough to play big minutes in the AHL .

The two Martins are barely younger than Gleason tho. Like one is less than half a year younger and the other a year and what three, four months. Considering that defenders take more time, I consider those guys to be in the same age bracket.

You are right about Barteaux, forgot about him. Even though it's also not a huge gap.

Wish Mavrik was coming back to Texas next year, not much left to do in the Q. Birthday is January 8, so he just misses the transfer agreement cutoff date by 9 days.

This seems like an absolute waste of a development year for him. Is it possible to give the kid a chance to play in Europe instead? I’m not sure what’s left to do for a guy who has been putting up big numbers in juniors, and apparently just doing it in the AHL. Don’t know enough about him to know if he’s the type to force his way onto the roster in his D+2 season, seems like a lot for where he was picked.

Bourque in his development seems very similar to Harley . Harley sort of got i don't know if lucky is the right word but because the OHL didn't play he was allowed to play AHL instead of the OHL where he wouldn't really had much to do anymore. Think in the next CBA the NHL will or at least should push for exemptions for players who aren't quite NHL ready but absolutely have nothing left to gain from juniors. This year really helped with pushing for that.

Still can get bigger, stronger, and work on the defensive game for sure. But the competition will be a bit weak next year.

This always happens for 1st round picks, so it's nothing new -- he can also go to the WJC which will be good.

I feel really good with where our North American prospects are at, first time in a while honestly.

Hopefully Traverse happens this year?
