Color me optimistic, but for me, it's all about the long term. LOTS of players who will be here four years and a couple blue chippers in the pipeline.... I'm excited. Success this year won't be a shock. Our cupboard is definitely not empty.

Hahaha. I think this is like the 3rd time I've every gotten this far, so we could all use a boost.

I was completely kidding.

I'll go Gersich

DDC's take on the Bisons and the 2017-18 season! http://bit.ly/2wlDjLN

I can't believe I'm typing this as it's crazy to think it's October on Sunday, but.... DDC is back! Check out his thoughts on the 2017-18 season http://bit.ly/2wlDjLN

Sounds like a recipe for some big-time success in a couple years. Need a blue chipper or 2 to round that out and it sounds like our pipeline may have that. Love this fact. Makes me excited.

I definitely see this improving. That was a symptom of a young team. I think that's something that we'll address by just being a year older.

And my favorite for this week... Michael Bianchi Karl from Sling Blade

John Wessel Rod Farva

Jack Clement Billy from Big in his early 20s

Nick Jensen Danny McBride

Cam Seck Shrek

I mean, what's wrong with using our best asset? We are a running team. Set the tone against a particular squishy defense.

And my personal favorite for this week.... Caleb Albertson Alfred E Neuman

Grant Martin "Gingers do have souls" Kid

Peyton Hulsig Young Anthony Keidis

Jason Randall Draymon Green

Lorenzo Thomas Chris Bosh

Mack Brown is.... an older version of "Boom Goes the Dynamite Guy"

Dang. Well, hopefully this guy knows more about it and that Navy got some funding elsewhere.

Navy, cool. I haven't heard much about them. Love the built in rivalry. This stood out: That said, I wholly expect that the next team to get funding to see if their program is viable for NCAA D1 status will be the Naval Academy. You can bet that the NHL and NHLPA will announce that during the Stadium Series weekend in Annapolis, as well. If this happens, that's great pub for our game.

Yeah, I guess it looks a little more 50/50. Maybe that's from conversations I've had since the roster first came out, I don't know. Regardless, I like hearing this about him.

I feel like most have felt that Jones was the most sensible guy to come in and instantly contribute. This seems like this enhances that thought. I love the idea of him being a fixture on the bottom 6 with a lot of young guys needing to step up.
