  1. Agree with you on Lilly with the exception that he was one of are only enforcers. How many of his mins were for fighting or roughing. Geekie has great potential but needs work on his skating and put on some muscle. Last year he was knock down a lot and tossed around a lot. Depends on how much worked he put in this season.
