I just want to start off saying, this is a great PT so thank you. I think we're starting to see more and more creativity in the sport of hockey as these younger players begin to grace the NHL with extremely ridiculous God-given talent. I think what we've seen from Svechnikov in Carolina, Zegras with Anaheim and just overall what these young guns are able to do like Cale Makar, Cole Caufield and Kirill Kaprizov is astounding. How they are so young but able to be productive at such a young age and manage to also find the spotlight on highlight reels. I think it's amazing for the sport of hockey overall. To all the young kids watching, sparking that passion and creativity will go a long way in the mind of a 12 year old. I think there's always room for more creativity in sports in general - just look at baseball. A sport that is in dire need to be brought into the new century where as hockey has done that by boys who can't even purchase an alcoholic beverage. I hear/see people like Tortorella saying there's no room in the game for this kind of stuff. Hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in the last few years - if we want it to keep growing we should support creativity in the game and encourage it as much as possible..before we end up like the MLB.
