Winnipeg Sun: Stanley sets sights on next step as 2016 first rounder making progress, seeing results. He is one of the players on the Moose I get questioned about most often.

Now I am not suggesting Logan Stanley will be Josh Morrissey but I am suggesting that folks have patience with a young player who grew quite a bit in his first year as a pro.
