I chatted with a few guys in my section and brought up a 50/50 debate.
Knowing what we know as of today about each player, should there be a draft taking every player of the last 4 years, I believe Johny goes #2 after McDavid. The guy is an absolute game changer. The dome went wild when he had his first OT shift. His first goal is one where many elite players get the puck and you know they have a good chance of it going in. Johny has a incredible ability to put the puck wherever he wants and needs the smallest of windows to do so!
Open the five hole? no problem
Shift the smallest degree to screen the goalie? no problem
Cover everything I want? no problem, I will go around the net and feed an open guy.

Nothing the goalies do really matters. We have enough of a sample size. They aren't ever going to be good enough and currently they represent the most glaring weakness the team has.
Tonight was the 16th game in which they've allowed 4 or more goals. Our goalies make too many mistakes, and the team will only be playing post season hockey if the position is upgraded post haste.
