To be fair Dalibor had played 7 games when E-Mac got this whole series to me (~ mid-Nov); I'm just way behind on getting them posted - not easy to do when one has way too many hobbies while still working full time lol. Not an excuse; just a little further explanation. Might time to pack in this Upside Hockey side project tbh - haven't been able to land any helpers (had a few great leads last year for hockey gents that would have been great additions, but life circumstances got in - from serious car accident to close family member falling seriously ill).

I get it. I didn't give E-Mac any criteria to go off, so he just went with this approach. There's always a struggle in choosing this and diff ways to go about it. I probably would have used Calder Trophy eligibility as a simple marker. Starting it after season has already started also presents challenges. I mean, tough to call Schaefer and others prospects at this point. I do admit, E-Mac made some curious calls on some lads (Kyotchkev on Canes as well, but his start to the season was misleading with injury and then AHL conditioning stint).

Anyway, appreciate the feedback. The series may or may not continue lol.
