He is and he was. He is usually one of the smaller guys out there. Not even 180 lbs. And I don't buy his listed height at all. He looked 5'11 170 by the time the playoffs were over.

3 for 3 today in shootout/penalty shots. All with 3 very different moves. It's clear he has the hands and the offensive creativity. The key is going to be whether he can play against the physical behemoth D in the NHL. He's got 2-4 years to try to figure that out.

he's skinny, but I wouldn't call him small. I don't know what Abramov's height is listed as, but he's a good 4 inches shorter than Bjorkstrand. Maybe it's just his skating style, but he looked tiny - Zaar like.

Hell, if the scoring drought continues he may find himself in the big boy playoffs.
I interpret that to mean he's flying to Cleveland tomorrow in order to eventually make his debut, whether in their next game or a subsequent one (the Monsters don't play again until Friday).

You are right, the QMJHL awards are tonite and he is nominated for MVP, so he is up there.

No. He can play wherever he wants after the Q season is over. The age rule applies during the junior season.

The rule is for the benefit of the junior leagues, so they retain more top talent.

Interesting considering Victoriaville is 1 game under .500. They have some goal scorers though and are obviously getting another one too.
Is he also our "wildcard" trade chip we might have to bring in that coveted center?
With Atkinson being extended, having Bjorkstrand prove he can play in the NHL, along with Panarin probably staying for a while, I could see him as being somewhat "redundant". Maybe a scouting staff/organization is a huge fan of him currently.

I agree with this (aside from Panarin). I do think he could be a valuable trade chip if the Jackets are close to a playoff spot at the deadline.

He's piece I've been more willing to move then most. People were more willing to move Bjorkstrand then him for Duchene and I couldn't understand that at all... shiny new toy syndrome haha.
I think he's a great prospect but with how many young wingers we have now and his size concerns if you can trade his possible future for a C that pushes us over the top now good luck buddy we won't ever forget you for being the extra piece we needed to bring in the guy to take us far into the playoffs.

You lost me at “good luck buddy”... relax. He is still part of our organization, is arguably our best prospect, and there’s been absolutely zero talk about moving him in a trade package. Thank goodness you’re not Jarmo, whew. And also... Winning the cup > “going far into the playoffs”
I'm not someone who will ever claim our team is going to win a cup so I prefer saying goimg far in. 30 teams don't get to win the cup going far is fine although I'd prefer the other.
I also said IF HE BRINGS IN SOMEONE to help us then good luck. Not assuming he's getting moved. But if he was a piece of a JT trade or something unexpected like Barkov or some other high end C why not?
