But now.....like I said.......ALL gravy.

Especially considering the youth on this team:

Monahan - 2nd year NHLer, 20 years old
Gaudreau - 1st year NHLer, 21 years old
Bennett - 1st year NHLer, 18 years old
Ferland - 1st year NHLer, 23 years old
Colborne - 2nd year NHLer, 25 years old
Jooris - 1st year NHLer, 24 years old
Granlund - 1st year NHLer, 22 years old
Wotherspoon - 1st year NHLer, 22 years old

The last two have had very limited roles, but huge experience for them none the less, and those seven players make up almost 1/3 of our active roster. Plus all the black aces who are hanging around soaking all this up.

Plus we sold at the deadline and have 6 picks in the first three rounds of the draft this year....

This is unreal. Just loving all of it.

Gah, my bad. Was thinking about Colborne when describing Ferland and then forgot Colborne altogether.
