Gustav Forsling

 

is about to emerge as one of the very best two-way Defensemen in the league and he will blossom under the leadership of Roman Josi 

 

Forsling already has a proven track record logging top four minutes (26th in ice time in the nhl last season) while providing elite defense and I think he is developing an elite point shot to go along with his phenomenal two-way game.

 

You look at the club I’m building… our centers should be able to dominate in the slot, our wingers are built to crash and bang… we have speed and pizzazz … now you begin adding elite point shots … our forwards should thrive in the chaos 

 

The clubs ready to rock n roll

We have a deep farm and the pro is looking absolutely dominant… clock in 1.0 under the cap

THN YearBook also has a feature story on Jacob Markstrom becoming a dad and having a rebound season… he went 8-6-0 after his sons birth highlighted by a 40 save shutout March 7th… article had me optimistic he about to rebound.. currently 82… should be 82-84 by seasons end
