I think the way the nhl is changing... steel will be fine at 5v5 the main thing is finding him the right line mates.
If comtois stays on his development i think he could be a very good line mate for steel.
I think if we dont sign dmen and let our young guys battle it out... mahura will get a very long look and be a dark horse to win 1 of those spots. If only he was right handed we could run
Lindholm manson
Fowler montour
Larsson mahura
One option the Ducks now have is named Jeffrey Truchon-Viel.
He has been outstanding so far at the Mem Cup and has been named the Q MVP this season.
He is an overager who just got signed to a 3 years AHL contract by the Ducks.
By the time Comtois develops, Truchon-Viel should already be in the NHL.....he is that good.
I would say his upside is:
20 goals
100 penalty minutes
200 body checks
He will be better than Lucic was in his prime with better speed, a better shot and very gritty plus he was Captain material all along in Junior.
Also that Comtois stuff definitely puts a shadow on the development of Morand, another Titan player who should develop well.
