PP took a huge hit after Will Smith & Cutter Gauthier departed for NHL. No easy solution to replace 40% of that unit.
Defensemen are all about 5” 11 ish, with exception of Skahan-who I think is a really good skater and can work shots to the net. It was not a “size” issue, but a talent one. Leddy had size but was limited in skating, skill and was pushed down depth chart & transferred out.
Agree that Brown is now bringing in some bigger prospects like Moore (tall but very thin), Kostadinski. Pitka, Mutryn but also fast skill guys like Cornforth and D-Radivojevic, Graham Jones, BC wins with speed & skill, not size IMHO. If a player has both attributes-that works fine.
Conmy should be a great boost to offense as he is point per game forward. Hoping we land one of those elite OHL forwards with whom we have been linked.
