i wish they'd give this kid a spot on the team next year. still has a bit to learn positionally at the NHL level, but he's 23, big, and good defensively. time to let him win a spot next year.

I think one of the reason for developing young players is giving them a cup of tea in the NHL and letting them learn from playing with good players. Davidson, Marincin, Klefbom, Lander, Pitlick were once seen as near "busts". Once they play with good players, they mesh well. I hope they call up a few more players if not this year, next year. Yakimov, Draisaitl, Nurse, Slepyshev, Laleggia who I'd like to see called up next year for a cup of tea.

it took a while, but we are finally starting to see some of our trees bare fruit if you will, with what appears to be a whole whack of later round picks starting to mature. and i love it !! long overdue and something that was killing this team off....not having much to show after the 1st round for a lot of years.

now we might be in the enviable position in the next few years of having too many kids ready for not enough spots, you do need some veteran experience. it gives us a ton of options for trades and may just keep MacT from spending too much on 3rd and 4th liners and bottom pairing d-men.
