So is the assumption to actually play with the big club? Wow this is some center movement in the last couple of days.

Refresh my memory, how did the Blanks signing go last year, is this the same idea here? (I can't find the "Blankenburg signed" thread, only the 2 year extension...)

Drawing a Blanks on the details surrounding the signing.

Appears to be his colleges teams offense. I see he was on the WJC team but I can honestly say I do not remember him

Pronman has him ranked as the #9 late season free agent addition and a "has a chance to play NHL games". Will keep an eye to see if the strengths and weaknesses Pronman cites.

Is it possible this is more like the Dunne signing? Or could be like the Robby signing.

American center that played at the program? Sign me up. Can’t be worse than Josh Dunne… right?

Everything I saw was that he was rumored to Chicago. Quite the surprise.

Feel similarly to @stevo61 that I’m a “big” WJC guy and I don’t remember him either..

BTW, BobbyMac and Jody had a nice conversation with McKown on Wednesday's podcast (Inside Edge - March 23) that is worth a listen.

1 point in the debut. 7 of 9 in faceoffs.

In before someone replies how bad our centers must be that a kid off the street is our best player in his first game blah blah blah.

There are difference points and play like center. I ment this, no points if about me. Btw, similar stats show nothing what I said no one.

Well... how bad do our centers have to be for a college kid to come in a play his first game to be the best player.... ahh... @Double-Shift Lasse (haha)

Quickest way forward to make this team in the future is at center. If he can do it, there’s a big opportunity next year for the 1-3C roles (I feel Kuraly is pretty entrenched at 4C)

 

[Cowumbus]

Did he do anything special in game 2?

I thought no. Didn’t watch the whole game but I thought he looked a little discombobulated. Then again, so did the rest of the lineup.

Yeah he seems like a great guy. Loved the bit about Assassin's Creed getting him interested in world history haha. Also one of the more talkative guys on the team I think, fun to listen to.
