Nice read
It feels really accurate with what I've seen from everyone, too. One part that I found interesting:
Roy Sommer, on which players have grown the most since training camp: Jonathon Martin, look where he was last year. Look how important he is to our team right now. DeSimone has made big strides. Keaton Middleton. Korenar.
Martin really has taken some big steps forward this year and I'm wondering if he'll be brought back (RFA at the end of the season). He was scratched at times last year, he's now regularly in the top six. He was a running joke for us last year, as it seemed like whenever he was on the ice all the offense, for both teams, just ground to a complete halt. He's figured out what his role is.
All that said though, it took a long time for him to get to that point. This is his third season with the team now.
Thought it was interesting they mentioned DeSimone as a guy with NHL potential and at the same time he himself mentioned needing to work on his consistency. When he has an off night, he really has an off night.
