I am all for giving un drafted free agents opportunities especially players probably wanting to go to Hershey

From Scott Wheeler on the artist formerly known as twitter:

"Well deserved for a big part of one of the best lines in junior hockey this season. Very good junior player. Would have ranked 8-10 somewhere on my Capitals pool ranking had he been signed a month ago."

Players in that range:
Stevenson 7
Gibson 8
Lemay 9
Johnson 10

Seems like a good move to me. Bolstering that depth.

I was excited to see Funk listed at 6’0 and 210 lbs. I figured this was another 5/7, 160 guy who scores goals, but won’t ever translate. Funk has an NHL frame at 20. Good work GMBM!

Looks like a guy that could be something based on stats. 1st in the WHL in goal by a 10 goal margin and 3rd in points. Best +/- in the league aswell.

Looking forward to see more of him and will start watching some Clips of him.

Let's not get too excited. He's a 20 year old playing against teenagers, including the seemingly yet-to-shave child who he knocked silly in that fight video linked above. That said, he does look ready to play against men and certainly has an NHL frame.
