What's the report on this guy? Upside, realistic projection?

I thought he was 5' 11"? I'd definitely take a 5' 11" Jared Spurgeon.

With heights, you throw a dart at the board and that’s your height.
Is it with skates? Without skates? Who the F knows lol

So you're saying he's 6'4?

 

[thestonedkoala]

Not a big fan at all; another undersized defenseman, plus they have a lot of depth on the left already.

Big from me

Between O’Rouke, Lambos, Peart, and hunt. You’ve got a pretty good chance to get atleast a couple top 4 D

Yep, returned earlier as JäPS beat Reipas 3-1 on the illustrious Järvenpään Keskuskenttä, and now this! Welcome to the club, son!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

All rankings on Elite Prospects better than #54.

 

[Minnewildsota]

So you're saying he's 6'4?

He very well could be!

 

[Prior]

It’s a sound pick. This a good player who will be in the NHL after his collegiate career.

 

[Minnewildsota]

lol I loved this answer in his interview

pundits: what did you learn the most this year?
Peary: I got to play hockey all year

(condensed answer but the overall point)

 

[57special]

Nause and Iorio taken immediately after him...hmmm.

 

[HotDish]

Sirius xm raved about him. Said he could be a good 4-5 Dman for the Wild in the future.

 

[MNRube]

He seems extremely poised with the puck. Aaron Ness is the obvious comp as both are undersized LHD Mr Hockey winners from Northern MN

5'11" 185 lbs isn't undersized for an 18 year old kid. Aaron Ness was 5'9" 155 when he was at the U.

I hope to God he doesn't turn out like Ness.
