Is Colin Wilson ready for the NHL?
John Glennon's article this morning (linked from the Clarkesville Leaf Chronicle, not sure why it's not at the Tennessean yet) digs into the question of whether Colin Wilson is "NHL ready". At 6' 1", 213 lbs., it's not so much a physical question as a mental/emotional one.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that he should probably spend most of next season with Milwaukee, getting a taste of the NHL experience but focusing on adapting to the pro game and schedule. But then again, he might look pretty good centering the Preds' 3rd line...

I see him in Milwaukee . . .
for a while. the road to Nashville goes thru Milwaukee. i hear Poile and Trotz give each draftee a shirt that says that once they come aboard. except for Hartnell of course.
I think that was part of the problem last season; they kept both Hornqvist and Jones up in Nashville to start the season, while letting Hlavac head over to Sweden for a paltry sum. I would have much rather seen them keep the veteran, and let the kids earn their way up to the NHL.
More fun than a stick to the face!
