@Alex_Drain Great read. I’ve wondered if Yzerman wanted to trade him before resigning him so he could get more inline with younger core. Maybe wasnt able to. This hurts but it’s what’s best long term.
@DFugmo@FutureBlueIce He’s not going to be successful as an under age player playing college hockey either, so they said. Give him time. I’ll bet on him.
Teams who pass on Adam Valentini in the #NHLDraft will come to regret it over the next few years.
Hard skill. Consistent energy & effort. Cerebral vision & hockey IQ. The personification of a bulldog, and he'll continue to flourish as a key cog at U-M's #NHLFactory.
@DrewVanDrese It’s hard to argue the 5 year rule when you see something like this. It might be time for the parents to sit down and have that talk. Son it’s time, the dream is over. Get yourself a job.
@TheProspectDon Watching the Steel for many years, a player that his development is like nothing I’ve seen - Josh Doan. His first year he looked completely over his head. By his last year I thought this kid could make it. His junior years of development and continued growth has been something.
