I like this move.

While looking up his stats, because the hurricanes are about as repug of an organization there is, I found this gold:

If someone could make that into a link, that'd be great, as I'm driving around on my phone

Drayton Thunder Chief is a hell of a name for a hockey player.

Reported.

Is there a relation to Brian, or is it just coincidence?

Just a coincidence.

Plays a very similar game than that of Mangipane. Very smart passer with very good offensive instincts, I really like this move. Like Mangipane the real question will be whether this kid can get the physical tools up to par with the mental tools.

I prefer this one http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=178166
from what I've heard he's a fairly highly touted prospect as well, also he's huge 6'4 240 at age 17.

Not gonna pretend I've seen him play much but looking at his stats page, doesn't seem to be much of a goal scorer. Assist numbers look very nice (48 primary assists/34 secondary assists)but only notched 27 goals in 72 games as 18/19YO

For comparision, 18YO Mangiapane had 43 goals in 68 games and 19YO mangiapane had 51 goals in 59 games.

I'm curious on Method Man's opinion. This kid calls Lethbridge home in the article after all

He's from Edmonton, so even Lethbridge is a better place to call home.

The one thing that stands out IMO is 40 of his points were on the PP, he also said himself in a Guy Flaming interview that he is "not the fastest skater".

 

[InfinityIggy]

He would look good as our #1RW.

True, and that's probably a part of why he wasn't drafted.

Still doesn't hurt to have him come to camp, and if he's got decent chops sign him. Can you sign a player to an AHL deal if he's going to play in junior that season? Or would we pretty much have to do an NHL deal?

I'm not 100% sure he is allowed to sign. I know you can sign undrafted 18 year olds if you invite them to camp, but am unsire if a 19 year old can. If he can be signed though it would have to be an ELC. Unless he was 1 day older

I was wondering why no one took a chance on this guy but then see his skating is an issue. At least skating can be worked on. Skill can't be taught. The flames can use some more skill in the system. Hopefully it works out for him.

I had to click that link to see if that name was made up or not.

I am surprise

He has a ridiculous name but Guy Flaming is actually a pretty decent prospect source.
