What do you guys think of Kaden Fulcher?
He had a solid season in the O(numbers a bit high but that’s how the O was this year) and is having a great playoff.
Do you guys think he could be a starter in the future?
Kaden had a fairly good statistical year by OHL standards (http://ontariohockeyleague.com/players/7195), but his 32 wins in 55 games are what really stood out. There are some technical details that he needs to work on as he is a very lanky 6’3,” but he worked his ass off with the Wings’ coaches during the summer prospect camp and fall tournament, and I believe that his work ethic is going to take him far.
Does he have a Twin?? I still think moving forward with Howard as a #1 Goalie and some over the Hill Goalie as #2 , Big Cap hit X2, doesn’t make any sense, in a rebuild period.
KH will probably resign Howard after his contract expires. KH now uses the word Rebuild, but I really don’t think he knows what it means
Lets hope one of Our young goalie prospects can be a starter in 2019-2020
