We were flat out lucky to have Monahan and Tkachuk be the players they are at the spot we got them, and for them to be ready instantly. Then to have Gaudreau end up the way he did...
Then one of our young players actually requires development time (which should have taken place outside of the NHL - but our management team screwed that up), and people turn on the kid. It's goofy.

Agree 100%
Sams a powerforward, a talented one at that. The way he plays the game takes time to learn. He needs to learn the limits to his physical game but play that way all the time.
I still have ample amounts of confidence that he will be a huge part of this team going forward. At 23-24 this player is going to be a beast, give him some time. Most players are still in the AHL at his age.
