I just did a search of the form and can't find where Markus has gotten a thread, so I thought I would start a new one.
At the end of the most recent summer, it was the consensus of our forum that Markus was the #14 prospect in our development system . He was listed as out 4th best D prospect behind Werenski, Gabe Carlsson, and Dean Kukan.
We were all surprised when he made the team out of camp. I don't think I was alone when watching him to wonder what his skill set was, what role he would have and how he fit. There were comments about Murray babysitting him on the 3rd pairing.
Now, I'm beginning to see solid plays. In the past 2-3 weeks it looks like he has begun to get settled in on this team. I also question if the November 28th trade of Cody Goloubef was because the FO saw Nutivaara emerging. If so, why would they acquire D Ryan Stanton in return? Maybe it was an AHL deal only knowing that Prout and Harrington would remain behind Nutivaara on the depth chart.
Regardless, what are you seeing? What do the CBJ have in this 2015 7th round pick?
