I've never thought 7 & 27 were first line wingers, but theyre making me eat my words this year.

Eberle’s 1st year with the isles in 17-18 he was just as good as barzal. He had a tough time adjusting to trotz system , but last year he figured things out and had a 1st line impact. He’s gotten even better this season.

I think it was trotz who said lee lost a few pounds and worked on his skating to become more deceptive. He looks like a different player this season. Obviously his contract won’t age well, but for the time being he’s living up to contract.

I mean I’ve been of the opinion his contract won’t age well too but if wahlstrom pans out on the path he is now at the worst case you’re looking at a guy in Lee he’s gonna bury a vast majority of wallys rebounds obviously will never be a line driver but I think the contract still has potential to age fine now

Fair point - it’s impressive that he added other elements to his game at his age. So far he’s been one of the best offensive wingers in the league this season. On pace for 39 goals (82 game season) and I’m pretty sure he’s top 5 among forwards for expected goals %

Yeah I’m pleasantly surprised his skating looks real good right now too hopefully keeps up his play style

Lee and dal colle have improved their play the most from last season IMO

Yeah I agree if that second line can get going again this team is gonna be real dangerous
