A hot topic, perhaps the most polarizing summer issue for fans to debate, was the future of Daniel Sprong. Many were confident he could be a 20-30 goal scorer as soon as this season! Others were more cautious. Clearly the latter group would be one coach Mike Sullivan subscribes to. As Bob Grove, writing for 93.7 The Fan’s website summed up well:
Sprong has had only five third-period shifts in the past three games and has just three shots in these seven games – fewest of any forward on the team.
