Quick Strikes: 2004 Champ Cory Sarich gets a visit from the Stanley Cup
Injuries have hampered Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Adam Erne from getting a full season of playing time under his belt, but is that enough to keep him out of the NHL? [Raw Charge]
The spread among writers was rather great, mostly because of my ranking him at 19. But in my defense, I wasn’t the only one who went low on Erne. Tom had him at 14, Hardev at 11, and Seldo at 10. Now, astute readers might notice a pattern among those names. None of us that ranked him lower than nine watch the Lightning as our main team. However, other writers that also don’t cover the Lightning as their primary - Justin and Tracey - had a rank for Erne that was more in line with everyone else.
So what gives?
