i was just about to post it. Hope all is well for him. 

I just hope someone better than Wedgewood comes available. I know this year doesn't matter from a W/L perspective but I really don't want to watch Wedgewood every other game or 20 times in 56 games.

Apparently Okhotyuk has looked real good during these scrimmages. I haven't watched any of them so it's all second hand reading but that's promising. The depth of the system is starting to show. It's a good problem to have. We're closer than people think.

Yep. Light on his feet, the skating actually looks legit which was a huge concern.

If he can turn into a 2nd pairing guy, that's huge. We've pegged him as a bottom pairing type. Same thing with Sharangovich's growth. If we can keep getting growth out of the wildcards, we're going to be good in the near future. I mean, the guy I have listed as our 24th prospect may very well have a top 6 role out of the gates this year.

We need the big guys to make big steps though...and we need to them to stay healthy.

Honestly, I'm more worried about the health than their progressions as players. 

Eh, I'm not. Can't really worry about it until it becomes a Patrick or Lindros type issue. Jack will be fine and I think Nico just got unlucky this year. He's a warrior so he'll be on the ice if he can. May not be full Nico but he's still going to be better than 80% of the league and 95% of the roster.
