Re: 2017-2018 Stars Season Thread
I'm fine gambling a 1st or a 2nd round pick on a guy who is a consistent 20+ goal scorer.

All they do is sell low on players they pick high, since they don't give them a legit chance. If that's all they are going to do then they might as well just trade every single pick, as they waste the entire picks value. Then in 5 years they'll be the worst team in the league.
The entire development aspect in the system in horrible. AHL and NHL. The players who do best in the organization come from Europe, other organization, or College. If players take the CHL route then go to the AHL they get worse.
It took them so many years to finally hire a goalie coach for the minors, they just don't put in the effort, resources on player development and it shows.

If I was Colton Point and I could get another year of development at a good, competitive college program and avoid the possibility of being assigned to the ECHL, I'd make that same choice.

After the loss to the Bruins with 11 seconds remaining, at the 2:00 mark Razor talks about how great Benn was in the game and that he's been in Beast Mode for the last month:
