Prospect Info: #136OA - Hurricanes select RW Robert Orr

[DaveG]

BOBBY ORR!

5'11 forward, can play any of the forward positions and played with L'Heureux on his opposite wing typically with Halifax. Creative and high IQ player, though sounds like he slipped some since some scouts questioned his compete level at times.

Orr, born September 1st, 2003, is a 17-year-old center for the Halifax Mooseheads. Standing at 5’11” and 176 pounds, the Beaconsfield, Quebec native isn’t the biggest player on the ice, but he plays like he is three inches taller and 20 pounds heavier. Currently, Orr is my 44th ranked prospect in the 2021 NHL draft. Future Considerations has him ranked 79th, while Draft Prospects Hockey has him ranked 83rd.

Last season, Orr played in the QMAAA (Quebec Midget AAA) for the Lac St-Louis Lions. In 42 games there, Orr scored 20 goals and 25 assists for 45 points. This year, playing for Halifax of the QMJHL, Orr has scored an impressive 6 goals and 7 assists for 13 points in 15 games. Considering he played fairly well in a very weak league just last year, his smooth transition to the QMJHL is promising.

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Hey asshats who think Waddell and Dundon and co. didn’t have a plan.

How’s Bobby f***ing Orr sound?

Miss Jake Bean?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Can't be unhappy with drafting an all time great. Hope he can still play.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

This is one of the unappreciated benefits of having eleventy billion picks: you can use one of them to troll the absolute shit out of your fan base.

 

[HisIceness]

Alright I guess I'm going to ask, any relation to Bobby?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

This is one of the unappreciated benefits of having eleventy billion picks: you can use one of them to troll the absolute shit out of your fan base.

Oh, he has to be number 4 if he ever suits up against Boston just to see Jack Edwards have a meltdown.

 

[Bub]

Can't be unhappy with drafting an all time great. Hope he can still play.

Well, he's 73 now so probably only a 40-50 point guy these days.

 

[baconandbread]

Has anyone confirmed that he is not a time traveler?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Can't be unhappy with drafting an all time great. Hope he can still play.

Surgeons finally have the technology to repair his knees. He’ll be as good as new

 

[DaveG]

Oh, he has to be number 4 if he ever suits up against Boston just to see Jack Edwards have a meltdown.

I'm not sure that anyone's ever been recorded having an aneurysm on live TV... but that would be a great opportunity for the first if it hasn't happened yet.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I just keep thinking of Michael Bolton in Office Space. They try to call him Bobby Orr and he tells them he can just call him Robert Orr.

 

[Bub]

Let's just hope we didn't get the no-talent ass-clown.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Hopefully he's not the next Erik Karlsson.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Let's just hope we didn't get the no-talent ass-clown.

I mean, why not? Wait, I think Calgary drafted him.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I just keep thinking of Michael Bolton in Office Space. They try to call him Bobby Orr and he tells them he can just call him Robert Orr.

I just noticed that he's not a defenseman. I guess if your name is Bobby Orr and you play hockey, maybe you'd rather not be a defenseman.

 

[McD37]

Well, he's 73 now so probably only a 40-50 point guy these days.

Your Dougie Hamilton replacement

 

[A Star is Burns]

If his agent isn't Bobby Orr, he's doing it wrong.

 

[FreshSeabass]

 

[Tube Skates]

Good entertaining player. His speed brings you out of your seat every night. Nice pick. I hope he develops desire. Hurricanes have a chance at a home run here

 

[Blueline Bomber]

He's going to be the best player with the name Robert Orr to ever play the game

 

[Canes]

Imagine being an 18 year old kid who is living through a pandemic, and all the hard work you put into being drafted is basically ignored by the team that drafted you so people can make jokes.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I'm pretty sure this kid has developed a thick skin about Bobby Orr jokes. Call it a hunch.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Hopefully he's not wasting his time reading what us losers post about him.

 

[Roboturner913]

We just drafted Bobby f***in' Orr

f***in A
