The Sprong has sprung!!!!

2G 1A tonight.

This year's Guentzel

[nickchau2000]

Lack of PP has me hesitating...but would he be worth an add at the expense of Okposo or Atkinson?

[The Black Panther]

In a keeper?

[nickchau2000]

Keeper league, but none of these guys would be keepers.

[The Black Panther]

Easily drop Okposo

What are we thinking ROS???

[audiopile]

Grabbed him at the expense of Connor Brown. So I'm thinking better than Connor Brown ROS.

Better rest of career too. Superior player.

I took him in our draft last year but he never stuck (same as Heinen). I don't want to get too excited over one game but he is for sure superior to Brown as you say.

Definitely, but he should have a bright future. I think he's a safe bet and man, look at that Heinen, late bloomer or what??

he had like six sogs in his first game and I watched the one last night- and he looked dangerous out there. I want to find the highights for this last hame...

I found the highlights- Jarry looked good too- whats the story there

[renello]

Crosby sure does improve those who play with him.

i was biting my tongue til I got him!! I got him!! I probably overpaid ($11 out of my 100 FAAB budget- lol!)- but I got him!

Hes a legit top prospect on any team- not just for the Crosby factor AND he was destroying the AHL (player of the month) before this call up. Pure sniper. His first game he posted six shots and I actually watched his third game. He basically had a goal if it werent for a really awkward bounce- just bad puck luck (this came right after a brutal turnover on his part though ftr). He just looked dangerous all game even on the third line, he looked hungry, dialed in and playing a very "fast" game.

Then this happened:

1st Goal- Good things happen when you play with Crosby! Shows good instincts to be there though and doesnt flinch on the execution.
1st Assist- Ok this doesnt even happen unless you're playing with Crosby- lol! Showcases his shooters mentality though and you gotta love it when Crosby looks like he might actually click with a player.
2nd Goal- Just when you thought he was going to be riding coat tails the whole time- boom! Thats what Sprong brings. Hes a legit talent in his own right- even moreso than Guentzel was/is in my estimation.

Yes this is a bit of a hot take (I admit it)- but Ive been watching his boxscores, higlights and games since the call up and have honestly felt like he just needed a bounce or two and the dam would burst. Well its happened, as BP so eloquently put it- the SPRONG has sprung!!!

Im not sleeping on this one friends...

PS- Jarry looks amazing right?? Like its not even just the injury- Jarry is destroying Murray in save percentage, GAA and everything...
