Written by yours truly,
Good evening all. For today's article we will be looking into the Quebec Nordiques ran by good ole pal, Christopher S. (Sumit) WALSH.
Routinely I would ask GM's to describe their team with 5 words. I 100% forgot to ask Chris this question however being the king of improvisation I will do such.
This is a story of our origin. Chris and I began our friendship in 2020 in the FCL. We were best buddies, we would laugh, joke around, be villains together, talk nice and pump each others tires on a daily basis (I even applied almond oil to his scalp). Then I wrote a league wide article. See below for exerpt.
Chris took this personal and ever since he has considered me as his arch rival. I need to point out that I have more cup victories than Chris does in that league. He just got ousted in the first round LMAO!.
Chris has a solid team led by Sidney Crosby, Victor Aarvidsson, John Klingberg, Morgan Rielly and solid goaltending with a duo of Rinne/Greiss. He also has a solid crop of young guns slowly integrating there way into the league such as Vilardi, DeBrusk, Howden, and Timmons.
Joey Lalellgia who might be the player to watch next year is a 28 year old LW/D. Weird. But is currently owning the AHL with 59p in 72 games. He might be one of the best value players in the league at 975K for the next 4 years.
Chris is currently sitting 3rd in the Atlantic Divison and judging by the looks of things he is still in contention for 1st.
Chris has lost 6 in a row actually, so I dont think he will finish 1st.
Chris will probably lose first round to be honest.
Pro Roster Grade: C+ = Nice all around balanced team, Sidney is getting old but still one of the best in the game.
Prospect Rank: C- = I do not recognize any names on that prospect chart except Kaut therefore the grade is warranted.
Organizational Strength: C++ - Overall a well balanced squad with youth and pro.
Sumit Rating: 80/100 = Mid Tier - GM needs to make more lion esque trades.
