2 years in college at least.  Then maybe an ELC with a start down in the AHL unless he lights it up at Maine and training camp.

I know he’s coming from a lower league but we don’t often miss on first round picks in the past little while and we are going to need a L winger sooner rather than later(I don’t mean this year but after next years contract season) depending on what we do in this FA.

Well for a team that needed to get "heavy" we sure picked a lot of undersized prospects. Wadell better get

busy and get us some studs this off season

There aren’t any in FA, seriously. Unless we RFA a player and win again. The “good” UFA’s this season you can count on your fingers and they will all command 8 digit contracts.

Pool party had double hip surgery and did not receive a qualifying offer from Carolina which makes him a UFA. This could explain why he was built like a monster yet boarded like tiny Tim, “please Sir I want some more.”

Team clearly got worse when pool party was on the ice. Everyone saw it and Rod made that move and we got better in the playoffs without him in the lineup. I feel bad for the kid because he seems like a good guy but not an NHL guy anymore.

    • If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?
    • It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay
    • If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
