[Crechiolo] Mike Sullivan just spoke very highly of Drew O’Connor for well over two minutes. The highlight was comparing his development to Bryan Rust’s: “OC, in a lot of ways, is on a similar track… The sky’s the limit. The opportunity will be there for him. We’re hoping he maximizes it.”

I have always considered doc to be a poor mans rust. Same work ethic. Same hustle. Hopefully doc can develop like rusty into a great first liner
Sullivan doesn’t give opportunities to young players though (just ignore Jake Guentzel, Bryan Rust, Brian Dumoulin, Matt Murray, Connor Sheary, John Marino, Marcus Pettersson, Zach Aston-Reese, Dominic Kahun, Sam Lafferty, John Ludwig, Valteri Puustinen, DOC, etc. etc. etc.)
DOC is going to change a lot of empty yinzer/icestillerz minds this year.
