Helgeson puts down Yevenko. Two big boys. Helgeson is 6-5. Yevenko 6-7.

lol wut

I saw this and wondered what "puts down" meant?

Wrestled down or knocked down?

 

[BrodeursCups]

Watched a lot of Helg at U of M. The guy is an absolute animal. Swallows up anyone who gets near him. Very mobile for his size as well. Easily one of our safer prospects who should slide in nicely as a middle or bottom pairing physical shut down guy..

 

[SeidoN]

Too bad we'll never get to see this fight.

they posted the scrimmage highlights from the other day. im sure they will post todays. might include the fight

Idk I think the fight won't be included, I hope I'm wrong.

Helgeson said Yevenko asked him to fight. Yevenko said he was looking to show all parts of his game. Doesn't get to fight at UMass.

Yes. Helgeson is one of my favorite prospects too. I think he's going to be what we would like to see out of a Salvador. He and Santini are of like kinds on my depth chart (although Santini obviously has a higher perceived top-end potential).

Nice, I've been dying to see Helgeson play in Albany, Everything I've ever seen about him is how smart and strong he is.

Most importantly he can skate.

 

[SeidoN]

imagine....

Greene - Larsson
Merrill - Severson
Helgeson - Santini

*drool*

 

[Holtz My Bahls]

That excites me too, he's 6'5'' and very mobile. Not something you see very often.

I hope Gelinas managed to land us a solid forward...

ok so we keep Gelinas. which one of those guys do we trade away

 

[Devils Dominion]

Greene - Larsson

Gelinas and Urbom may have something to say about that.

 

[Holtz My Bahls]

I don't know but this would be a fantastic problem to have!

 

[Devilswede]

Gelinas isn't going anywhere. This kid will be a star and people will soon find out. The kid can skate like the wind and shoot the puck Pronger-style.

I know this, I'm one of his biggest advocates on here, the kids a gem!

how soon though. our D is still jammed up

Can he shoot the puck well?

 

[hlaverty06]

I really, really like Urbom's game. He's the kind of guy who wouldn't be a liability in your #4/5/6 spot but he brings incredible amounts of toughness. He doesn't mind dropping the mits.

His game reminds me exactly of Jonathan Ericsson another similar swede

 

[TaiMaiShu]

How does he match up with a guy like Simon Depres on the Pens? I think they played together and both have similar builds.

Talking about Gelinas btw.

 

[hlaverty06]

Surprised Helgeson 'put down' Yevenko

From what I've seen and read Yevenko can chuck em

 

[Devils Trap]

Great decision maker. After the draft he and his family went to Dino BBQ to celebrate

That kid has the right attitude. Seems like a great fit for the organization. Really liking this pick, despite the glut of D men.

Best of luck. He's quickly become one of my favorite prospects. Kudos to the Devils for offering a ton of media for this camp.
