We have zero top 5, 10, even 20 NHL prospects. We have some guys drafted in the middle of first round and a late round goalie that is talented, but as I have said I am leery of goaltending prospects. Is it really pessimistic to ask what impact mid-first round draft picks that have been good not great since their draft year will have on a team? Is it pessimistic to be leery about a prospect goalie?



I think people read a lot of what they want in people's posts and when it doesn't align with how they want to be a fan they label them negative, pessimistic a blast at parties.
This kinda illustrates my point.

You're entitled to post how you want. You're clearly a pessimist. That's ok.

But I think sometimes we know what direction the wind is blowing when you chime in and it just sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher to me. It must be exhausting. I don't want to derail the thread, but why even watch? Like why are you even a fan?

Anyways, send me a PM if you want to answer those. Let's just carry on with the thread.
