3 game road-trip recap Caps, NYR, Isles

[GRADEN]

4pts out of 6 on this trip is a big win anyway you look at it. Very impressed with our neutral zone improvements.

8-4 under King now. Really happy with Slavin call up, he has looked really “skilled”. Also IMO Ian Mitchell’s 2 best games as a pro. He just needs to move that puck and skate fast. He did that last 2 games.

Bad signs; De Haan doesn’t look healthy. He was very slow out there and held the puck way too long. The rangers 3rd goal was entirely his fault.

Lankinen and Fleury are proving to be a good 1-2 in the league.

And my last realization:

Bowman got absolutely PANTS’D in the Jones deal.

Sillinger is looking like ROY with 10/23 and Boqvist back from injury has 9/16 with 6 goals AND they get our pick 3-15 range in a dang good draft. So ummm yea not sure a top pair D is worth a top 6 wing, a top 4 D, and a top 10 pick so there you go.
