@TheWire, thanks for posting the info on the prospect tournament. I'm more interested in seeing some of the U20 prospects like McKenney and Van Voorhis get some reps after last year's promising campaigns at Junior World Cups.

yeah ngl i'm more stoked for McKenney than anyone else in that tournament, he's got a legit shot at being part of that top 6 next year

I'm more worried that none of these prospects will stick long-term due to our tendency to rush them into the league too quickly. We're still reeling from Cossa's departure, let alone whether McKenney can handle NHL speed. 10 years and counting...
