Q&A for Announcers:
Who is the best forward player this year: Corban Knight. Says he's the guy you could put out in any situation. He's the go to guy, making everyone look better.
Who is the best defenceman: Potter. Potter has experience. Not a flashy guy but he shutdowns the best forwards for the opposing team. He's a plus 4 playing against the best forwards from all the other teams. Potter does everything quietly.
Who is the biggest surprise: Stevenson. Another guy like Potter that you won't see on the scoresheet, but will be in the lineup consistently playing against top players for opposing players.
Agostino - he came from college and is playing the "big guys" game very well. Has played to the level and style of any line he has put on. His ability to get away from checks and accelerate quickly, you can tell he came from a league where he used that. Having a good start to his professional career.
What does Gillies bring to team: He brings more off ice then on ice. Won't get points but he helps the young guys out. He brings everyone up in practice. Makes sure guys working hard in the gym. Very vocal leader, you can hear him during practice from anywhere in the building. Young kids are listening to him.
