Kassian in the fastest skater competition?

Also, I'm calling Yannick Weber to win the hardest slapshot.

I would have put Weber in fastest Skater too.... Santorelli will win puck relay.

I'm more surprised at seeing archibald on that list

 

[Pseudonymous*]

kassian was in it last year too, hes fast, he just doesn't look as fast as other guys because his strides are longer.

he finished with a pretty good time too, not too far off the speedsters like hansen/weise

like the other poster mentioned, more surprised about archibald

wasn't the reason we traded for him because he's a big fast powerfoward? The fact that it is very hard to find that skillset BIG+FAST
