Now in the 2016-17 season, prospects developed, I've decided it's time to go for the Stanley Cup.

Key Drafted/Signed non-NHL Players for the Future:


Currently my team is loaded with young talent, but none as promising as my goaltender, Brandon Hope, 22. Taken 1st overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Hope is a 5 star potential goalie. Now in his 3rd NHL season, Hope has grown to an 86 overall and has performed very well on what was a very bad team to this point.

Back-up goaltender Johan Gustafsson, 24, proved he was worthy of the back-up position last season with a .918% in 26 games last season. Signed as a FA, he has developed very well and provides a very good option if Hope struggles.

Centerman Chad David, 22, from born to Canadian parents living in Poland. The 2nd pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, he has also played two seasons, amassing an impressive 72 goals in 148 games. At 87 overall now, he looks to continue to grow offensively and with speed. He is expected to be the core of the teams offence for years.

Viacheslav Garkusha, 22, is a small RW picked 28th overall in the 2013 draft. A pure playmaker, he has 178 points, with 158 of those being assists, in 200 NHL games. With only 3.5 potential, he has slowly worked himself to be considered a 2nd line player, but his passing ability has made him the top playmaker on the team.

Tyson Torres, 21, was selected 40th overall in the 2015 draft by the Ducks, but was brought in as a depth player to start, and will likely develop into a 2nd or 3rd line scorer. At 6'3", 206 lbs, if he only develops into a 3rd liner, he may be useful in a defensive role as well, since he has low 80 defensive ratings already.

Defenceman Marian Harant, 21, is a big offensive Slovak who was signed as a UFA. Only 2.5 star potential, so won't grow much, but has the attributes to be a good 3rd pairing d-man for the PP. Not much is expected from him though.

Michel De Serres, 19, was the first overall selection in 2016. At 6'5", 218 lbs, the French Canadian looks to be a very impactful two-way forward of the future, and will get NHL time this season to help his growth. He is expected to be one of our top players moving forward.

Winger Jussi Keranen, 21, was the 4th overall pick in 2014, but the Devils didn't seem to want him so I traded a depth forward for the 4 star Fin. Expected to grow into a good two-way threat, the sizeable forward will also play in the NHL this season in hopes to speed up his progression into a top 9 forward.

Defensive prospect Sean Pearce, 19, was taken 2nd overall in 2015, but hasn't grown as quickly as I wanted. He'll be a good defensive shut down man in the future, but it may take a few seasons for him to develop, with only 4 stars and no NHL roster spot for him this year.

Offensive prospect Evan Frattin, 19, was the 4th pick in 2015, and like Pearce, will take some extra time to grow. A sizable sniper, he should turn into the 2nd line scorer every team wants, and with 24 goals and 52 points in his first AHL season, he's shown he has the ability to be a star, now he just needs to show the speed to play in the NHL.
