I definitely agree, although I am always afraid of being too positive when it comes to this franchise,as I'm too often let down....
I also really like the way our scouting has changed in recent years- we draft for skill and character these days, rather than size and grit in previous years. By all accounts, this team leads the charge in terms of metrics and all other underlying quantifiable numbers in our scouting as well. We have the third largest scouting staff in the NHL.
The potential for a Johnny trade is exciting as well, and I pray that if it goes down, it will be for a fruitful return.
