Random summer game though, rust is there for some who didn't go deep into the year or played in a U18 tournament.
IMO though RE: Goalies. Draft more. You can stagger development and decision time by going NCAA/Euro/Russian route.
CHL / Canada hasn't been producing *crazy* goalies lately. US program on the rise.
I can understand rusty but some of those guys were brutal
I've been pretty excited by Greenway but man he was all over the place defensively
Middleton has been a really nice surprise
He's got good mobility he's excellent in his own zone and he's looked much better offensively than I expected and Liljegren just straight up looks good
As long as we're not burning high picks on goalies I'm fine
If your going to do that you may as well just trade for one that's already developed
I'm in the take one mid to late rounds every year and stash them away in Europe and the NCAA camp
