The Phantoms would be having a much easier time with Cousins and Manning back in their lineup.

Looking at those ages, for top picks you'd expect most defensemen to spend one year in the AHL (20-21) and one year in the NHL before settling into a top 4 role, and for the best, becoming top defensemen in their 2-3rd NFL season.

So Sanheim and Morin are on schedule, Ghost is a little behind schedule due to his ACL, Hagg and Alt are still outside shots at a top 4, and Friedman will probably be one of the "late bloomers."

Add a youngish MDZ and there are enough guys in the system to give real hope. Some folks feel that one or two of the players will flame out. I'm not into that. I think that they all will have nice to excellent NHL careers. Its a special bunch; reminiscent of what the Canadiens had coming into Montreal in the early 70's.

I've thought that about our D prospects too. Montreal had like 5 or 6 dmen that could've been #1's or 2's anywhere else. Which is why I wouldn't be upset if we drafted another defenseman with our first pick even though I badly want an elite goal scorer

I'd just like to point out that two of our three top defensive prospects are very good offensively, so consider that when worrying about our future offense

Moving much too slow.

Whoa, let's not get too crazy here guys. That Montreal blue line was arguably the best ever. Our kids could all turn out to be very good and still not close to what the Habs had then.

My french sucks but from some twitter talk it seems to be a lower body injury. Of the minor kind.

That's what I gathered as well. Odd. Rimouski hasn't played in 9 days and Morin was on the ice when the game finished.

Well at the very least if they bring nothing else to the NHL we may have shootout specialists

Ehh, maybe. The first two skaters did the same move, fake left and then try to go top side to the right. Laughton made the same move but instead shot it five hole as the goalie was expecting it over his pad. Smart move for the winner.

Zepp played well, except for the first goal, he was slow reacting to a wraparound. But he had a sick save where the puck rolled over his shoulder and he spun around and smacked the puck away. His stick went flying too.

Laughton and Bardreau looked great. I'm thinking they both are on the Flyers at some point next season if not to start the year. Picking off a lot of passes, making nice plays, and driving the net.

Laughton had our only goal as well. Another snipe from the hash marks. Can't wait to see that in the NHL. Flashes of Simon Gagne when I see that (just that shot, not saying that's his projection)

Morin in the lineup tonight. So either it wasn't a serious injury or they cut of the injured limb.
