These are good players. I’m not sure they’re elite players. But Spurs need attackers, so ok www.nytimes.com/athletic/751...

That comment shows why Spurs are so high on The Athletic's hope-o-meter. After 2 17th placed finishes, and with plenty of recent unrest around the club in terms of management at both board and team level, there is no reason for an elite level player to come to WHL right now. Wait a year and see.
