BTW: I tried to carefully curate the list beforehand. Sure, Duchene was never gonna be here as long as Esa Lindell, but I figured Duchene's impact would be more significant (which was true early on, not so much now). Plus I knew I wanted to prioritize the prospects. It was pretty exhaustive work for Ryan, so I don't expect to have another round next year, but it sounds like he's open to potential odds and ends next season. So I'll be sure to ping him in August. I feel like Lindell and Chris Tanev are the two that NEED to be added.

Love it, these are all great. My favorite portrait is Miro Hesikanen, with those eyes of strength and determination and my favorite full body is Logan Stankoven - just perfect.

Great choices. I never really paid too much attention to Heiskanen because I think I got him around the same time as Lian Bichsel, which was my favorite -- maybe not my favorite portrait, but definitely my favorite full body image. Totally captured that 'gorilla from Olten' dimension.
