Big fan of the Spronger. I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves this year. Go Sprong!

I knew it from last season when he came to our team. I think at Arizona? Scored and was high fiving dudes he probably didn’t even know. He’s one of my favorites

And he came in from a PTO

Looks like top 5 in the league.

He had to start playing a full 200ft game if he was going to stay in this league and get any playing time. I personally feel like, to the eye test, Donato has done that better than Sprong. But they’ve both improved tremendously since last year.
We don’t give our coaching staff enough credit for the misfit toys they’ve turned around. McCann’s situation wasn’t as dire at all, but I doubt any team had him as a top-6 consistent scorer. And on many teams his stats would be the same, it’s not just the weak Kraken. Played himself into a beautiful contract.
GMRF has found some hits, and Hakstol has developed some great turnaround stories on some of these guys. I also give the coaching staff credit for the player Borgen is right now. Playing top d-pair minutes and never looking out of place. Dude’s a stud, and young with a lot in front of him.
The next guy I’m hoping we can see turn into something (besides the obvious Wright) is Kole Lind actually. He was off to an incredible gross pace in the AHL this year. He’s cooled off a bit, but he’s still one of their top guys.

Plus he rocks that comically huge gold chain. Not hating; I think it’s rad. But it’s huge lol
