Really hoping to see a quicker skating puck-moving team this season. Makes for a much more dynamic and exciting team.

100% agree. I do notice a lot of our prospects are drafted based on skill and hockey sense. Need some burners on the team. I really liked Reider based on his speed and transition game. Just an example of effective ways to build the team. Seems like a lot of our higher picks have a component of needing to work on foot speed. Part of that is probably where we end up picking.
