Went to the game tonight. Monahan has pretty much assumed the role as the Flames go to guy already, looks confident, strong, and like a leader. Rookie campaign was no fluke.
Gaudreau, what can you say? His skills and intelligence are elite. He really took over the shifts on the Jooris goals. Not sure how Johnny Hockey can't be on the big team come October 8th.
Some nice signs from Bennet as well. I'm a bit concerned Sven isn't quite finding his way, needs to get a bit of swagger back.
But all in all, our pool of young players is pretty damn impressive.
