I like thisYou still have Ceci in there. Common man.. put someone else in there. Even Wideman .. put Future Considerations in there lol
So young too, imagine when he's 25-26.
Has there ever been a case like this with an offensive d-men? Sure there have been surprises, but there’s usually an indication somewhere in their development.I honestly have no idea where this is all coming from. There was no indication he had this offensive potential until training camp. His junior and AHL stats never hinted that he could be a sniper by any stretch of the imagination....
And yet here he is in the NHL, looking like a stud. It's like a switch went on in his head. It's mind-boggling(in the best way).
What a totally unexpected surprise.
He had a great 19 year old season in Swift Current. I think this is definitely a hot streak but he looks to have the skills to be a 40 point guy, maybe a bit more since defenders are tending to contribute more these days. He could have played last year in junior but they opted to bring him to Belleville. His low point totals last year (despite only being 20) probably speak more to how poorly the coaching staff used him. Kleinendorst is a pretty bad coach tbh. Guys like Jordan Murray and Pat Sieloff were probably getting a lot more opportunity than Lajoie.Has there ever been a case like this with an offensive d-men?

I need hope that this isn’t just a hot streak.
I liked Lajoie, he had a great junior career but yeah although he was buried in Belleville last year he didn’t really do anything to wow me. I don’t know where this confidence has come from but I love it!I honestly have no idea where all of this is coming from.

I bet it's because he loves his coach this year, wants to thank PD for the opportunity and is enamored with the owner.I liked Lajoie, he had a great junior career but yeah although he was buried in Belleville last year he didn’t really do anything to wow me.

ThisIt's really early yet, but it feels like he's just a smart overall player. In a structured game like the NHL, he's just going to shine.
High iq dman from what I've seen so far.
