Can't hate the attitude on this kid.

Can't hate the attitude on this kid.

I'm sure Tkachuck would oblige, but a good mindset to have no doubt.

Some links... sounds like another guy with high "compete"...

I’m actually intrigued by this guy.

If his b day was 2 weeks later he would be a 2024 draftee.

He already had a cup of coffee in Liiga.

probably 4 years or so out, but I think he could have top 6 potential

In light of recent personnel moves, it doesn't surprise me that they might be focusing on "compete" levels when looking at prospects.

Picked by Seattle in the import draft .

Seems really young, hope they see how they handled Lambert and let him go to juniors

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I wouldn't expect him to leave his team in Finland, but Seattle is a fairly nice lure if any city would be, I suppose. They are going to lose a ton of players to graduation from their powerhouse, but they still have a little group of guys like Sawchyn, Myatovic, Ratzlaff, Mynio who might be enough to keep them competitive?

After what happened last year with Kemell, I'd generally be inclined to prefer having him play in Seattle, as opposed to sitting on the bench or being back in the U20 over there.

I agree, that seems like a well run organization and we get more feedback often times as posters, which does nothing for anyone that matters, but it is still nice.

Not sure if ya'll got to see the hit referenced below, but it was pretty brutal. Blind side and high. Wouldn't be surprised if he broke his jaw.



EDIT: I found it for you who haven't seen it

Welp crap I hope he feels better

 

[AintLifeGrand]

He made the world Jr team

He made the world Jr team

Actually, he did not. Was the final cut.
