While I was gone...
-We resigned Markov for 3 years.
-We drafted Nikita Scherbak with the 26th overall pick. I have never seen him play but based on stats (and some scouting reports), it looks like we got a steal.
He had 78 pts on 65 games in the WHL as a rookie. But here is the impressive part... his team was 16-51-5 and the second best scorer on the team had 43 pts. That's 35 more pts than the next guy on the team for Scherbak.
He is a high skilled right winger which we need. We need to give Pacioretty a better support offensively. Who knows maybe Scherbak (RW) could one day play with Pacioretty (LW) with Galchenyuk at center. But that's really in the best case scenario.
