Agreed, until Honzek next fall.

Pelletier, Zary and Duehr will be bottom 6 types if they're in full time this season.

As much positivity as Jakob recieved, he did struggle to produce.

Hopefully this hasn't been posted already. It just popped up on my feed. Man, that play from Pelletier between the legs to Coronato was a thing of beauty.

I know that's a Coronato video but I was glued to Pelts he makes a lot of small plays to keep the puck alive and works his ass off ball of energy will be fun to see him this season in the NHL.

The things scouts commonly mentioned to me that they liked about both Coronato and Pelletier: "details." Lots of small, smart things in their games that add up over time.

Bump. Pretty excited to see Coronato for a full season.

Reminds me of Jake Guenztel. Both USHL in draft year. Comparing their USHL numbers:

Guentzel: 5' 11" 185lbs
in 60 gp, had 29 goals and 73 points (1.22 ppg)
3rd highest points for U19 players his draft year.

Coronato: 5'10" 183lbs
in 51 games, had 48 goals and 85 points (1.67 ppg)
1st in points and led league in goals for all ages.

He is going to be good. And Coronato had better numbers his first year in college.

Yeah, Coronato is going to be good.

That shot…..

We're loading up on options to play with Huberdeau. I love it.

I love that Conroy is doing without doing the old obvious pick up duclair type moves too. Kids and sharangovich were much better options for this team

Oh yeah, even as a pessimist to this current build and what we can do with it, I'm really excited about some young options for the top 6. 30 goal scorers come out of nowhere sometimes with opportunity. I think we'll get at least one this season.
