With the Colorado Avalanche youth movement in full swing, I’ve been thinking a little bit about the young players’ roles on the team. Specifically, I’ve been thinking about who some of the veteran players’ “heir apparent” is — the player who will eventually take on more of the veteran’s role.
And I’ve gotten to thinking about J.T. Compher and how much he reminds me of Carl Soderberg.
JT Compher vs Carl Soderberg
JT Compher, of course, is younger than Carl Soderberg — 23 years old vs 32 years old. Naturally, with that comes a big difference in experience — 400 NHL games for Soderberg, just 90 for Compher.
