Are you honestly listing Ilya Solovyov with a serious face? The guy who turns 25 in a month and was -3 in 5 games last year (since you added that plus/minus comment at the end). Rasmus Andersson had 50 points and +30 at the same of 24. Give your head a shake.

It's an outside shot given his age but there was also a logjam at D this past season. Not much opportunity to acclimatize with 15GP total. Not every player develops at the same rate/timeline. He's one of four darts and I'd bet on the two OHL stars first.
Raz today isn't what he once was. People still super high on him seem to be looking back. He's ok offensively and high compete but sub average defensively.
The fact that he still has a positive reputation around the league after this season is a miracle. I hope we capitalize on it.
His personality won't be easy to replace but the player will be (relatively so).
