Player Prompt

If there’s a game, M’Baku Olubori is going to be trying. It doesn’t matter if it’s a preseason game where he’s being careful not to get hurt, he’ll still bring some edge. At one point he intended to take a break in the offseason, but becoming a fixture on the Swedish National team has complicated that. Now, he’s in game shape year-round and ready to push the tempo. This preseason, Baku needs to be a leader on and off the ice. BAP still has many young players getting situated to SHL speed/expectations and more to come in the next few seasons. If Baltimore is going to break through and climb the standings, Baku needs to practice and play like one of the team’s stars. Bad habits start early, and the coaches and GM let Baku know they rely on him and the other veterans to hold to high standards. This year, while his roster spot is secure coaches yet again are changing his role. Rather than complaining, Baku is taking it in stride.
