Sweet!

 

[milehigh11]

One of my favorite prospects in the system. That need for another righty winger in the system as we don't have many RH fwds

Going to be a lot to think about in the front office when all of these 3 year deals are done, if these players amount to something.

 

[Balthazar]

I want to watch him against pros to see if his skating is as bad as advertised or he can somehow adapt.

That’s the kind of problem you want to have.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Exactly how bad is his skating?

Think Pat Maroon.

 

[Avs9296]

Exactly how bad is his skating?

A blend of Jason Allison and Peter Worrell.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Think Pat Maroon.

But his shot though

Shades of Kirill Maximov.

I'm no expert on skating stride and technique, but he is awfully slow on the ice. You can see it even at the junior level that he kind of moves in slow motion relative to everyone else. That said, he gets to where he needs to get offensively and his shot has such a quick release that he doesn't need a lot of room to get it off.

How he will do in Bednar system that emphasizes hard core backchecking is up in the air, though. I can see him having trouble catching up to the play going up and down the ice in the NHL.

His shot is insane though, I like the pick and the ELC just based on that. It's hard, accurate, and leaves his stick fast. If he makes the NHL, it will be based on that absolutely nasty release he can unleash.

 

[Metallo]

Can his skating be improved?

 

[Hasbro]

Exactly how bad is his skating?

Did you see Brad Marsh play?

One time he was wearing a loafer during a game.

Having a guy in the AHL who can put the puck in the net for the other prospects to work with isn’t a bad thing.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Think Pat Maroon.

Oh god.

 

[Hasbro]

Oh god.

Marty McSorely his feet asleep.

[AllAboutAvs]

Great!!! The Avs are adding more speeeeed....oh wait...

 

[Freudian]

Is he the big guy with a good shot and poor skating or the big guy with poor skating but a good shot?

Yes.
