Hopefully if enough of these homegrown forwards can develop into actual decent NHL players it will keep Treliving from trying to sign anymore "big name" UFA's to bloated contracts.
Get a couple decent young forwards contributing top 6 offensive numbers on ELC or still cheap 2nd contracts and it will also soften the blow of having a $5+ million 3rd/4th liner or $2+ million in buy out cap hits.
So go Phillips, Mangiapane and Dube.
