He could end up a bottom 6 forward as a ceiling.
Really? That's all people think is going to become of Nick Henry? I think there's more potential than that.

Henry is in his +2 season in juniors... if he wasn't dominating, it would be a very bad sign for his professional future, let alone his NHL future. Henry isn't super skilled, isn't real physical, isn't great defensively, and isn't big.... there is a chance he can find a niche as a 3rd line goal scoring guy, but I don't think there is enough ability to be a 2nd line guy ever. The more realistic projection is of a 2nd line AHL guy in a few seasons.
Yeah that's best case scenario but I'd say more likely result is Top 6 AHL forward.
I havent seen him much this year(Just the one game) but last year I saw a bit more and was really unimpressed each time. Nothing that stood out as far as talent.

When somebody is as young as Henry is, there's always still a chance that he grows into a bottom six NHL forward. The ceiling is there, IMO, but it's not super likely he reaches it. The real test will be the same as it was for Beaudin, his first pro season. If he continues to grow there, there'll be a chance. Otherwise, it'll end up being the same kind of situation as JCB.

I think Henry starts our with the Grizzlies and works his way up. He needs to show some offense to do that.

I’m legit LOL’ing at Makar just toying with everybody on the ice in this game. He’s so much better than everyone else. First time I’ve seen him before Christmas.

That last shift trying to rifle off his shot twice after the nasty move at the blueline, then deciding to just skate around their net a couple of times before cantering it was ridiculous. Stupid confidence and ability.

The commentators think Makar is a Columbus prospect. You'd think they might know it's Colorado since bowers is also ours.

I bet they are looking at a sheet saying COL and came up with Columbus.

Man, everyone here needs to watch that game. Makar is insane. Near the end of the first period he makes some sick dangle in front of the net to get a scoring chance. He seems a few levels above everyone else on the ice and he makes it look rather effortless. Also, Im really going to like Shane Bowers.

Boarding or even charging. Either way I guess it's nice to see a physical element to his game.
Bad play at the end, but not surprised with it. He crushes people when he puts his mind to it. Lit up some poor kid at the offensive blue line a few games ago like he was prime Niklas Kronwall. That’s what makes the uninformed posts about a small offensive D all the funnier. Kid is built like Sid and Nate, you aren’t going to move like he does without having insane leg and core strenght and when he hits you you know you’ve been hit.
