Oh my God, if we have a couple more breakout rookies this year to cover for our depth losses? I'm pretty sure this board will implode and the NHL might just kick us out.
"A huge credit to our guys in Syracuse. Everyone that has come up and played for us has been ready. That's not easy. That's not always the case. I've been in other organizations and that wasn't necessarily the case. So, it's a huge credit to those guys to be consistent with their game all the time, not some of the time. That's the challenge for those guys, Raddysh, Borris, Barre-Boulet. That's the challenge: all the time, not some of the time."
"We go into those rookie games blind. Obviously we know some of the kids, we can see where they got drafted, but then we kind of go in blind. For me personally, the McDonnell kid looks like a gamer. You start seeing in that tournament and all of a sudden they've got possession, all of a sudden they're creating havoc in the o-zone. Two games ago we had them matched up against Point and Kuch's line and they did a really good job. It's that high compete. Even the message after that game was we're going to talk structure in these meetings, but we want gamers. We want high compete, and we're judging you on that compete too. Some of those guys have done a really good job and have really turned some heads here. MacDonald is another kid, even the Element kid who was just an AHL (signing), I mean you guys I see you nodding your heads. You guys have seen the same thing. These guys have made a huge impact in camp because their compete is so high. I think it's made for a really good camp so far."

We'd really need to see them against some other teams to see what we've got. We were hyping a line with Luke Witkowski, Gemel Smith, and I think Maroon like two camps ago until they got to the regular season.Those Element MCD kids,are they drafted by us,can we expect them to be our new best 3rd line in a some years?
How it will be possible to win lottery for them? Iam not good in draft lottery rulesGood. f*** em. There's no one we've taken since Drouin at 3rd overall in the way back when that the rest of the league hasn't had chances to grab. Tell their front offices to git gud
God help the league if we actually won a lottery pick for a guy like Wright, Bedard or Michkov. They have enough trouble with guys like Colton breaking out
Draft position is based on the original owner's result in the standings, so if TB trades for a first round pick from a team that ends up having a terrible season, it could end up being a very good pick for the Lightning.How it will be possible to win lottery for them?

Colton - Stamkos - Perry is a thing.
How Big Mac got left off this list of the top 50 is beyond me. But we do have 3 of the top 10 for this season per NHL.com:
