Description

Another wasted year. Another top ten pick. What do they target at the Draft? I’d say Demidov but did the Panarin / Bobrovsky experience deter them?

I’m not sure how you can put together this roster, see there are six Russian names on it, and wonder if two Russians who wanted a beach and a garage, respectively, five years ago might deter them from a certain teenager.

They've got Voronkov 1) as a winger and 2) scratched; that should tell you plenty about how much they were paying attention.

Where's Jiricek? "Another wasted year", sure, but we're already the 2nd-youngest team in the league, and ther's 4 CBJ 1st-rounders under the age of 24 in that lineup already (5 if you throw Jiricek in there, which he should be).

The year started with turmoil, got derailed entirely by injury, and the team became allergic to 3rd-periods. A young coach, new GM, and development by the young NHLers should have this team pushing for a playoff spot either next season or the year after if they're all healthy and we're patient.

Many teams are apprehensive about the Russian factor. None of those players on this CBJ team are star players. Taking a top prospect around 5th overall would likely become a star player. So they have reason to be concerned.

It just seems like they’re in a perpetual rebuild year after year despite having top ten picks year after year.
