"Lets Go Baby!"
I am happy with Shero. However, in some ways I think the drafting could have been better. I am not sure how much of that he leaves to the scouts, but Zacha and McLeod have me concerned. I know he drafted Nico, but that fell in his lap and Patrick had a fine 2nd half of the season last year. In the Zacha and McLeod drafts he pretty much went with the consensus at the time, but maybe he could have reached for some better players who went later in those drafts. I know its hindsight, but Barzal the next center taken in the '15 draft had more offensive upside in juniors (Zacha didn't even average more than a point per game in that year). Passing on Logan Brown in '16 for McLeod is going to leave him open to some comparisons down the line.Honestly i stopped reading once you brought up Nolan Patrick. Nico Hischier was outstanding in his first NHL season and was a big reason why Taylor Hall won MVP as Hall stated this as well.
Also Come on man, Logan Brown stinks.
Lol. You "honestly" stopped reading after I brought up Patrick? Yet you mention Logan Brown in your response which was at the end of my comment. Okay, I'll give you Zacha pick since Shero jumped on board in 2015. However, moving forward there will be comparisons between Brown and McLeod because of that trade we made with Ottawa.
Logan Brown
19 years old 35-14-26-40 -5
20 years old 32-22-26-48 +4
NHL 4-0-1-1 E
Michael McLeod
19 years old 57-27-46-73 +28
20 years old 38-16-28-44 -1
AHL 6-0-1-1 -6
Logan brown is not that good man. Mcleod fits this team and is projected as a 2C
Zacha is how old? He’s not some 30 year old jag
