But in more important matters, Do we think that the Hunters are going to keep Gaz as both an overager and an import next year?
Personally, I'd try to convince SJ to leave Halts down with us due to lackluster 5v5 skills (great shot tho) and bring in Ustinkov to help replace the D we're about to lose.

Even more importantly, Is Jacob Monks gonna be a grandslam for the Hunters? IIRC he fell due to non-comital issues but he is currently at our Dev camp. Could be fun.

I have to say, as I watch more and more junior hockey I think its becoming very clear to me that the NHL needs to raise the draft age back to 19. I like Woolly for example, and the Hunters are trusting him as a rookie with fairly large minutes and NHLCSS has been bumping him up the rankings quickly, but at his age and usage its really hard to get a good grip on what a guy is going to be.

Look at Julien. Last year he played half the season on the 4th line, and was out of the lineup/in junior B the rest of the year and now he has 74 points after being drafted in the 5th round by the jets. If the age were 19 he would go so much higher. Same deal with guys like Cowen.

Raising the age would hurt like 2 guys a year tops (this year it would be Bedsy and Benson) and we both know that won't harm them long term.

The covid year where everything got cancelled was the year to do this and I'm a bit upset they didn't. Could have just pushed the entire draft and increased the age
