I'm loving the contributions we're getting from found money honestly. Gaudreau/Brodie will be core pieces for a long time, pretty good return for 4th rounders. Byron was pretty much written off, he's one of our better forwards now imo. Jooris was supposed to be an ahl plug, he has gone and cemented a role for himself on this team. Of course these players pale in comparison to our captain, easily one of the top 15 defensemen in the league. The amount of value we're getting from left field is paying tons of dividends for us. Imo, these players have already put us a year or two ahead in our rebuild.
Seriously, if Brodie was a top 5 pick would any of you be unhappy with how he's playing? If Monahan and Sven can step up to their potential then this team can do anything.
Again though, the California teams will be test to see if this team is for real. Hard to not be excited about this team though.
