Well, as a Canadian living 20 minutes North of Regina and 48, you still have no idea what is coming down there. I've forgotten more about hockey and seen more than y'all know. I'm excited to see the progression. Guaranteed 40 goals+ next season. I have known and played against many NHLers. PP1 team. Top unit. He's way better than Kane.
