Various notes
1) Stars got 2-3 great years of Spezza and was vastly overpaid the 50% of the rest of his time with them
But Nick Paul is now better than him. I hope we keep him several years. He's a great bottom-6 player. I'd even like to say fantastic bottom-6 forward. Like a core building piece
2) Sanderson and Pinto will be really needed. They are super important prospects for the future of this team. An elite speed winger like Formenton will be great too. Can't wait to have these 3 in the line-up
3) Norris 2 first NHL points. Batherson looks great
4) of course a lot of guys are really rusty, Zaitsev, Paquette and Anisimov really struggled early on.
5) wow great shot Watson!
6) Wolanin is actually the guy that needs a "Gudbranson" to ease him into the league. Zaitsev can't do that. Maybe Josh Brown, hopefully
