I'm going to get the obligatory Bahl Hurt joke in right away.

Hungrig is hungry in German, does hurtig mean hurting? Kid has some beef.

Hurtig means "fast" or "speedy" in the nordic languages.

We can only hope

@JimEIV knows a few things about Bahl - Hurtig!

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Our best scout endorsed him.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Know nothing about him, but what a fitting name for a massive defenseman.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Devils scout said they thought he was a steal where they got him....He did a good interview as well time will tell....

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

6'6, tremendous skater for his size and appears to think the game well. Meghan, time to earn your keep. New Jersey's prospect development has been abysmal.

In all likelihood this guy will be well off (or on) the NHL path before he even meets with any Devils personnel.

Danill Musyl comes to mind, he's going to be 21 soon and I think he's signed to play in Russia till 2023.

Bratt seen he rise in Sweden and Smith was always good. Sharangovich is a good case, far too many haven't developed.

 

[GeNeXt]

6'6"... Dougie Hamilton can do a good job teaching him how to get acclimated.

That's cool but I'll just stick to a lame pun like :

"Viktor is going to put a Hurtig on someone"


I'll see myself out....

The Big Hurt.

The Big Hurt.

Frank Thomas would like a word with you.

I may be bigger than him

 

[TBF1972]

i wonder, if he already is the devils top rhd prospect.

walsh looks like a pp specialist, who needs defensive sheltering. so basically he projects to have bottom pairing upside.
mccarthy is stay home defender with little offense. so basically he projects to have bottom pairing upside.

is there a case for hurtig to become a mid pairing d?

idk but the RHD pipeline is a big pile of poop right now.

I would agree, but I think it's closer to an empty toilet. Not even any poop there.
