Who do you guys think will have a better pro career?
IMO, Flynn probably does more things at least a *little* better -especially in his own end- but Abbott has much the better scoring instincts.
Not to compare Spence to The Great One, but he reminds me a little of him... He is small and not all that athletic, yet he can slow the game down at the right time to create Grade-As. I saw this the first time he wore Maine blue.
If either of those guys makes a splash in the NHL, I'm guessing that it will be Abbott. (Though I'd prefer that both of them do.)
Congratulations to Spencer for making the Hobey Hat Trick, I hope he brings home the award! It has been a pleasure to follow his career at Maine for the last 4 years and I wish him the best in his pro career.

I honestly think they will both get a CHANCE at the NHL- what they do with it, that remains to be seen. Teams nowadays go through 15+ forwards in a year, as long as they have a decent showing in the AHL next year- I expect both of them to get at least a call up.
I think Flynn's game relates more to the NHL but time will tell.
