I was reading earlier scouting reports on him and some brought up his skating.

For me he's a excellent skater but moreso in the agility/edges aspect versus just elite speed.

He's still got good speed but its like comparing Nylanders skating to Kapanen's. One guy is a better all around skater whereas the other is a pure burner.

I think we hit a homerun with this kid.

If Jarvis was gone, he was the player I wanted, and so far, he is proving to be a solid selection.

apparently Larianov has been amazed by him in practice in terms of how creative he is. Creativity + a responsible all around game makes for a potentially excellent player
Dubas' first picks in all 3 of his drafts look to have star potential, one of whom wasn't drafted until near the end of round 2. His drafting has been godlike.

Amirov was also a kind of player we needed in the pool. Well done by Dubas.
I never really bought the rumors that Dubas was interested in drafting Perrault.

Amirov Matthews Marner line would be filthy.

Amirov to take on Hyman's puck retrieving role with better distribution and finish. Marner and Matthews cycling the puck.

I am salivating.
