The level of competition wasn't all that close to NHL team calibre I think also. I seem to recall a good chunk of his highlight package being against Germany. That said there is no question about his skill and determination so I can still see him being our top prospect or a very close second to Bennett. What a change from the dark days of Dustin Boyd et al ...
I am quite looking forward to seeing these kids grow. Although I felt similar to the kids in the past, there is an overall difference these days. I used to feel somewhat upset when we were told there were no prospects in the cupboards and as time went by that was obviously proven to be correct.
Our kids today have talent, heart, hockey smarts, character.... It's feels so much better during this rebuild than the "young gun" era. I never thought the rebuild would be exciting but here I am .. excited for some pretty talented kids to start trickling into the lineup over the next couple years and start elevating this team to the upper echelon.
It's almost here! Hate to see summer go, but come on hockey season!!
