So many things - which is pretty cool considering we're early into a rebuild...
1) the kids for sure: Gaudreau, Baertschi, Poirier, Wotherspoon, Kulak and Sieloff in Adirondack; Bennett, Klimchuk, Smith and Hickey in the CHL
2) watching the development of some other interesting prospects in Adirondack: Ferland, Wolf, Arnold, Knight, Reinhart and Granlund - oh, and Acolatse
3) watching the progression of some prospects that aren't front and centre on the radar: Jankowski, Gillies, Rafikov, Mattson
4) watching the progression of Brodie, Monahan, Colborne, Backlund and Bouma on the big club, and who else can crack the lineup
5) watching the Oilers fail AGAIN - and the Nucks just missing the playoffs
6) watching the 'race' for McDavid and the bedlam that ensues when the lottery takes an unpredictable turn
7) the WJCs with Bennett, Klimchuk, Rafikov and (hopefully) the surprise starter Hunter Smith
8) listening to the talking heads on Sportsnet rant on about how the Flames lack young talent, and how the new draft lottery is horrible news for them, and that they will wallow in mediocrity for years as a result, while at the same time watching them outscore the high-flying Oilers AGAIN.
9) watching the Adirondack Flames tear up the AHL with a high-speed, high-powered offensive attack
10) Treliving's first big trade (my prediction: Glencross and/or Baertschi)
