I remember not long ago it was a presumption, a foregone conclusion of many that all of Ghost, Provorov, Myers, Sanheim could not possibly “hit” to their potential. Why? Just because. Things like that just don’t happen; prospects are reduced to percentage chances and not individual talents. We needed to trade one or other valuable pieces for a veteran top 4 defenseman.
Well.....uhhh....think again.
Yet, we have Fletcher last week even lamenting a top 4 veteran defenseman who in all likelihood is inferior to that quartet. Gudas is a helluva 4/5 veteran anyway. Let these horses develop in max usage, and it’s going to be a ****ing wild ride. They’re good now. They are still oozing potential.
I know it'll never happen with this team but I'm fantasizing about Hogberg coming over, wowing everyone in camp and winning a job in September as the No. 6. No more Amac, no more Hagg.
The top 4 look so good together right now it's hard to break them up, but Gudas needs a complementary partner, not Hagg.
