I see him listed as 6'2 on the internet but he looks a lot taller than that in highlights
Does anyone actually know how tall this guy is?
His size and skating reminds me of Trevor Linden
when he can't even bump out Jack Skille or John Mitchell in Colorado last season
don't expect anything much better than that
He's basically Colorado's Alex Grenier.
A big body who is a 40-50 point AHL player, doesn't play a great three-zone game, but can maybe be a useful callup.
I like his name tbh hope hes another late round gem like tater tot and gaudette
Spent the summer training in croatia and arrived in Vancouver last week and skeimmaging with nhlers prior to upcoming camp.
Rendulic will surprise a few people with his size , skill and grit.
Slightly better version of Shawn Mathias.
so a lock for 20g?
I've seen a lot of Rendulic. He is about 200lbs, more like 6'3 so he's a bit on the skinny/lanky side. He's definitely not like Matthias. I wouldn't call Rendulic gritty, he's not soft but he fancies himself as a skill guy. Loves to dangle and plays a very flashy style, he's more out of place when asked to play a bottom 6 grinder type game. He has a nice shot, seems like he could put everything together and be a nice top 6 find but it's tough to find the patience to get him there. Sometimes he doesn't know what to do with the puck, won't shoot or holds on to it too long and is an adventure defensively. He's a relatively big guy and will hit but needs to learn to use his body more. There's flashes there so I understand another NHL team wanting to give him a look, it's just tough to know what to do with him. Maybe if he flourishes on an offensive role in the AHL he could get a long look in that role in the NHL. Right now I'd say he needs work to get there. Big personality, outspoken, loves being in North America.

You just described Alex Grenier to a T.

Last season for Rendulic was a write off come backing from a broken leg year.towards the end of season he really picked it up and showed a lot of promise (scoring ,grit etc )
I predict he will be a late cut in camp and could potentially thrive in Higgins top 9 spot.
