Its been out in the media a lot recently but with teh success of vegas and tampa finding these lesser known guys who can turn into 30 goal scorers
Marrchessault with florida, karrlson with vegas, gourde with tampa
GMs are trying to find these diamonds in the rough, guys who can come in super cheap and provide that excellent level of scoring.
Tre just seems to have gone out and acquired more of them. Mangiapane, Foo, Czarnik, they all fit this type of player and arguing semantics of where they were found is pointless. yes they all have different circumstances surrounding how they got here, but the fact is, if you can give yourself more arrows in the quiver, the better chances of hitting the target.
Maybe they are all AHL at best, maybe their ceilings are Byron, maybe one of them is the next wild bill, who knows? but you can't find out unless you give them real opportunity, which arguably GG wasn't willing to give mangipanne last year but who knows how they do under peters.
