Re: Thoughts on Lucas Raymond (bonus Detroit question)
I think he's two years out from getting to the NHL. I wont be surprised if Raymond doesnt play next year either back in the SHL or spend a good chunk of time in the AHL before we see him in the NHL. At that point, he should see sheltered minutes to get his feet wet to the NHL speed, much like they did with Zadina.
Veleno and Seider should challenge for roster spots next season but like any rookie, I keep my expectations in check, especially considering Detroit will still be working their way up the standings.
10 Team, Points Only, Cash League
25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt
Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink
G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger
