Indeed! Drummond's Voltigeurs are more talented upfront but the Huskies are super loaded with PO experience so it makes the young Cataractes look even better.
Drozg won 73% of 26FO so far and he's a mind-boggling even +/-, considering he faces the best of the Huskies that's f***ing impressive (45.8% FO in RS). I wish he'd shoot more (9SoG) but hey, as long as it works. Drozg is hard to shut down because he always has that passing option as a good playmaker. Great experience for the kid, bodes well for the future.
I think that would be a very bad idea. I rather have Jarry as injury insurance than a 3rd round pick that won’t help us during our Cup window if ever.
The Old Master
come and take it.
I dont think Jarry would pass throuh waivers. And i dont think we Will carry 3 goalies next season
a) The 3rd rounder can be used as trade bait
b) Jarry's waiver exemption goes away at the end of the year and as a result, there's a decent to strong chance that if we tried to keep him, we'll lose him for nothing. 3rd rounder beats nothing.

If he truly wants to test his durability he picked the right organization.

Moose Jaw went out without a single point from Almeida - although he left the game injured in the first period for the last one, so that one at least isn't on him.
He (I think) won't be reporting to WBS, because he'll now be having surgery for a torn labrum he suffered in November and has been playing with all season. That's huge courage and ability right there. I don't know whether it was finally catching up with him in that series (certainly the hit that injured him got it), or whether he was just on a one line team vs a team that could match it, or just plain sucked at the wrong moment... but regardless, to be the second most productive player in the WHL behind Glass while injured is hella impressive.
Plus, now that he's had a debilitating shoulder injury, he's definitely a true Penguin. Maybe Rutherford should greet all new draftees this summer by hitting them in the shoulder with a sledgehammer to get it out of the way with.

The season he had with a nagging injury since November is now even more impressive!!!
Wow
Yup. And while I'm pumping up expectations higher than they should be, out of all the forwards who've completed two years of junior eligibility post initially being available for the draft in 15-17, only two players have a higher ppg in their final season than Almeida and that's Barzal and Glass. Granted, plenty of WHL players only do one year for various reasons, but still pretty impressive and higher than kids like Steel, Dube and Howden who've made good pro impacts in their first year out of juniors.

What is it with our promising prospects and serious injuries? Was a rule passed when I wasn't looking that dictated that prospects can't be healthy?

That’s crazy. He was wearing a brace all season and said he was in pain mostly every time he went back to the bench.
Having a bum shoulder really messes with your game in countless ways to. He must have a really high pain tolerance.

Part of our deal with the devil - all the draft luck for all the injury bad luck.

Just seen that. I'll find highlights at some point and post em here.
Baie Comeau(D'Orio) won 5-2 tonight to go up 3-2 on Moncton.
ETA: Here's the Drozg hat trick.

Damn i went to check the NCAA scores and top ranked team in the country St.Cloud State lost to American International College 2-1.
St.Cloud was outshooting them 32-13 at some point late in the game.
Wild.

He is not getting enough attention, I'm not sure why a top team didn't trade for him. None the less a very interesting kid we have here going forward
Do imports get traded less? seems like the only reason I can think of. Also the fact that a team can make the playoffs with 14 wins in 68 games is hilarious.
