"It's not far-fetched," Paul Holmgren said when asked if Gostisbehere could be in the NHL next season. "He's an exciting young player, the way he plays the game. It's going to be a big summer for him to continue to get stronger and prepare himself to get ready for the rigors of an 82-game schedule."



Right now, an excited Gostisbehere is just focused on his professional debut this weekend - not looking ahead.
