Yes, also the best offensive dman--Jack Johnson.rebellionhellion2002 said:any NASTY crease clearing defensemen in the draft?
Maybe he is supposed to be, I dunno... but from the handful of games I've seen him, I never got that impression. He could be a bit chippy, maybe, in a cross-checky sense, but not really what I'd call physically assertive, let alone intimidating. He seemed to me more like a guy who kind of wanted to get involved more in the offense, but hadn't really broken into that role enough to get the green lights from the coaching staff. (And how could he really with Benoit as another L-shooting D on his team).Balej's Dance said:Matt Lashoff?
Can anyone give a scouting report? From boxscores he seems like a nasty D-man.
He's listed as 6'1'' on the USNTDP website.monster_bertuzzi said:Jack Johnson 6'0 200
According to the USA World Junior Camp, he is 6'1, 207 with 6% body fat. That means for a kid his age/size he could end up 6'2" and carry 215-220 easily.Postman said:He's listed as 6'1'' on the USNTDP website.
He's 6'1 210 with 6% body fat. This means he will probably top out at 6'2-3 215-220.Postman said:He's listed as 6'1'' on the USNTDP website.

Not necessarily.monster_bertuzzi said:I cant see Johnson growing another 2 inches. Once you're 17 (almost 18) your growth upwards is pretty much finished.

Postman said:Not necessarily.
I was about 5'11'' when I was Johnson's age, now at 21 I'm about 6'0'' 1/2 (almost 6'1'').
Even if he doesn't grow, size isn't a concern. He's not towering, but he's above average in height and very well-built.

Mitera could be a guy who goes higher than many expect.
