Current NHL players' kids who's going to be good players

[Harv]

This baby right here:



Who the hell is he? Let me explain.

The dad is Justin Bourne. He had a small career in the ECHL and AHL. Retired and is a coach on the Toronto Marlies. Justin's dad is Bob Bourne, who played almost 1,000 games in the NHL and won four cups with the Islanders.

The mother, that's Brianna Gillies. Her dad? Clark Gillies. Also played almost 1,000 games in the NHL and won four cups with the Islanders.

So that's baby has grand parents who were both really good NHL'ers for a long time. If I'm betting on a kid to make it to the NHL, it's him.

Brain Savage's son Ryan is pretty good. I missed the current part.

Weird question. Why does it have to be current NHLers? Their kids are super young. Only one I even know about is Shane Doan's son Josh.

He's pretty much just a run of the mill AAA player in AZ. Savage's kid is pretty awesome though.

Apparently Nick Malik's supposed to be the next big goalie prospect and based on his stats he looks pretty damn good.

Hm, and I thought all of them would be girls.

Uh, why can't his daughters be Superstars?

Funny how most of the HOF's kids like Lidstrom, Sakic, Selanne suck, whereas for the most part, the legit prospects came from decent to lesser regarded players who were nowhere near being even NHL allstars like Domi, Poulin, Samuelssons, Malik.

I was wondering how LeClair's kids were doing, but since I found very little on them, I assume they aren't very good either. Too bad some of these kids can't be clones of their dads. Guess I'll just have to watch old YouTube clips.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

i bet jagr's spread his seeds to a few future superstars with only their mama's last names

Or different players' last names.

There are a lot more avg joe players than superstars in the league.

I remember way back there used to be a lot of joking about Lidstrom's sons marrying Yzerman's daughters and founding a Red Wings dynasty

Maybe the avg players career is a little shorter and they are able to spend more time helping their kids at a younger age? Who knows I am sure genetics is something but you see that is all sports, maybe the shadows of being one of the greats kid is just too much, didnt Gretzky's kid play football instead. How many great players have kids who are great? Hull? Stastny (Paul is not great, just good)

star athletes typically hook up with beautiful girls

in general beautiful girls are dainty, small, and not athletic

for every anna kournikova, there are hundreds of female athletes that look like rosie o'donnel
