Pens announcers should have enough practice with german names now.
How about the next step:

He is a very solid hockey player too. Only need to ask Dallas Fans who saw him with Benn during lockout. Its a mystery for me why he never got the chance to play NHL. Maybe poor scouting in Germany.
Tiffels was a lone bright spot for Team Germany at this year's World Juniors in the absence of Leon Draisaitl, and has carried that play over to the Broncos. Tiffels has elite speed which makes him difficult for defenders to handle in one-on-one situations. He's just missed being drafted the past two seasons, but should be picked this year after showing how his game translates at both the international and NCAA level.
No, it`s not a mystery. I`ve seen him play a bunch. He is solid yes, but lacks the overall game to play in the NHL. However, he was connected to the KHL, but it never happend.
He was a product of David Wolf, who is with the Calgary Flames at the moment. Wolf used to create space for Flaake, who would then use the gained space to finish a play. You can see in his stats that his goal output dropped sicnificantly to the two years he prior played with Wolf. (Yes, I`m aware he played less games)...
