Hot take. This team has tremendous depth with 15 healthy F's. Good depth with 14 healthy F's. 13 healthy F's it starts to get really thin. Not having Croal last weekend was noticeable. Zakreski is such an X-factor for this team. IMO, this team will be so much harder to beat come March if the 3rd line is 19-8-21. That line dominates other team's 3rd lines. For that to be a possibility, you need someone who can step into a Top 6 role, the only candidate that isn't there currently is Zakreski. 

Pre-Christmas, World Junior, Spengler Cup that was our 3rd line with 7-29-15 and 9-17-26 as the top two lines. I was little surprised we didn't go back to those lines last weekend but I suppose Croal being out put a wrinkle in that.

When you have to question everything now in regards to AI, there should be a mechanism that confirms reality from AI.

I’m glad it’s not just me.   I thought Friday’s OT was all AI.   
And I’m still suspicious of it.

Anyone at 10 or above is safe. 11 to 16 are dependent on which teams win the autobids.

Yeah, BU or BC could easily win the HE tourney.

Boston College, Boston University, & Minnesota have 1 CHLer combined, that being Terriers forward Ryder Ritchie. That will certainly change in the future, very interesting to note.

Chyzyk/Jackson going after Verhoeff & Reschny made complete sense, both have been home runs. But going after Spunar (played in the Dub before the USHL), Josephson and Zakreski was ELITE under the radar recruiting/scouting. Masterclass from Chyzyk, Jackson, and the whole staff.

 

CHLers being NCAA eligible is awesome, makes both major junior & NCAA Hockey so much more fun & interesting to follow IMHO

Still lots of hockey left but the ECAC having more teams than HE in the npi top 16 is so funny to me.

Having first mover advantage for the entire WHL makes it even better.

From what I heard about Chyzowski he wouldn't fit in with the current staff. Will be interesting to see how he does for Denver this weekend.
