I dont disagree. I thought that Virtanen might be a strong compliment with EP passing, particularly the vision for the stretch pass. Either way, im excited to watch this group. Expectations are low but this is the development of the young players we all wanted to see.

I wouldnt mind JV riding shotgun for a bit with Bo and Baer to see if he can raise his game. Baertchi, Bo, Virtanen Goldobin , EP , Brock Eriksson Sutter Roussel Motte Beagle Leipsic _________________________________ Archie, Schaller, Gagner _________________________________ Edler Stech Hutton, Tanev MZD Gudbranson _________________________________ Pouliot Markstrom Nilsson

IMO give this guy a shot. Hussle is apparent and is a solid PKer.

For those of you who are worried about Brock. Relax. The kid is mentally strong but would benefit from an elite passer which I think EP is. Those two get some time together and they could do some serious damage. That allows Bo, Baertchi to extend their chemistry with JV or Leipsic

I like Goldobin. The kid has some serious upside. That said, he has some defensive warts. They were willing to take the risk on Baertchi, i think the potential is higher with Goldobin. Shot gun with EP and Brock could be deadly. Yes, I have Brock and EP playing together.

Jake was broken by Willie I think. The kid has some of the tools but i have always thought he struggles to think and process the game at an elite level. You even see it in the interviews. He stumbles through them. Build him up and let him loose and see what you have otherwise he may be a bust or career 3rd liner. Unfortunate because he shows flashes of elite skill some times.
