The Habs did a pretty good job of that themselves. But he'll get another chance in Arizona, and I'm sure he'll do well there, particularly if guys like Strome, Perlini and Dvorak take a step offensively. All of those guys have the tools to do more than they have to date, and really only one of them needs to break out for the Yotes to be in decent shape up front going forward. They should be fast, and they're not icing a single forward over the age of 30. Too bad about that Barrett Hayton pick.
