This team’s success is a testament to JB’s rebuilding style.. will be interesting to see how it pans out over the year / years to come.  
 

No one higher than 5th OA.. (Horvat, Pettersson, Virtanen, Hughes) and while Jake is an important piece he’s not a front liner.  Lots of pieces brought in via trade or UFA to the chagrin of a vocal negative portion of the fan base... plus some pieces retained that people wanted sold away for picks.
 

No tank. No “pick stockpile”... but still a top quality prospect pool.  It should make people rethink what constitutes a “proper rebuild” though I doubt it will.

Wonder if gaud gets some action, or even baer? Depending on ferland 

They've sent Baer down to give him time to regain confidence and start playing without any fear again.  I don't think that he's a guy we'll see until later this year.  

Wouldn't be shocked to see Zach MacEwen up for a cup of coffee.

Miller legitimately looks like a 1st line forward, not even just a 2nd line guy we hoped would be good enough for the 1st line. Crazy that on a line with Boeser and Petey, he's not even close to being a passenger.

I had no idea he was this fast.  Flys all over the ice, goes to the dirty areas, no real weakness.  Great add.

He's looking like a Landeskog-type complimentary piece to a top line.

 

I was very critical of the trade but I'm happy to eat crow so far. Hopefully he continues it.

I always liked Miller before he came here.  Basically a winger version of Horvat which I thought would be perfect on the top line seeing how good Pettersson Boeser and Horvat looked when they played together last year
