Dennis Cholowski signs a 3 year EL Contract

[Ezekial]

He's not a kid, he'll be 20 soon enough. He's just a rail of a person. Calista Flockhart small. Even recent pictures don't give me any hope that this pipe cleaner will be anything but the 'before' on the late night infomericals about protein drinks.

Look at his dad and brother

He could just stay a lank, but I think he'll be fine.

Edit: I don't want him fillin out like them though

Dennis actually has some decent size through the upper body now. I zoomed in during videos and paused Instagram stories to make sure, he's not skinny anymore, his arms are 14-15 inches and he has decent sized calves.

The issue of him being lanky is a 2016 issue.

He's thicker than Hronek.

He protec (the paint)

He attac (with breakout pass)

But most importantly

He thicc (through the ass)

He's signed with the Prince George Cougars of the WHL :

Best thing for him. Now go put up more points than Jake Bean, and make Team Canada.

Mom must have had a thing for a mailman at some point, he just doesn't look like either. Kinda would be awesome if he had his brother's hair though.

Unless he's wearing Chris Chelios's old pads, there is no way to accurately discern size with that much equipment on.

I mean it could be his step dad or something I don't know his parents martial status, but his brother's a tank. Sadly Cholo didn't inherit his mother's hair.

He has legitimately put on some weight in the last year though.

He was in a T shirt playing mini golf, I'm not that presumptive.

Ah, prepping for the offseason already. Better lock him up to a 7 year contract.

He's definitely added a lot of weight/muscle now. Listed at 196lbs. Hopefully it shows in his on-ice results.

Don't give Holland any more ideas

 

[Mister Ed]

Cholowski said today that he was now at 200 pounds, which makes him a little less lanky. Excited to see what he'll do with Prince George in the WHL.

On this article he said that he's also closer 6'2.

I've started liking him more and more. Never seem him play, but the stories.

- At first he was "too small", then happened the growth spurt.
- Was drafted by Prince George, but went to College for one year, because Red Wings management felt it was better for his development.. Less games, could develop his body more.
- Has always been a great skater, and hasn't missed a beat from that ability after the growth spurt. "Effortless" was the talks during the WJSS.
- Now people are starting to praise him about his 1st passes and breakout passes, after the Traverse City.

Also, from those press articles, I've somehow started to like his personality. There's somthing like Pavel on his answers. Pavel had the language barrier, but the same kind humor is there. "I didn't even know that BCHL existed, until I played there." etc.

One thing what also was great to hear bout him, was the team Captain's talk about how Cholowski is a "rink rat". Always on the ice. He just loves to be there. And when he isn't there, he was on the library, studying something. He even tried to study calculus year before it start at College, to be prepared. He is that god damn "everydayer", like Babcock used to word of himself. He has high IQ, I don't mean the hockey IQ, it's a different thing, but guy with high IQ learns hockey-related things fast.

And the final come could be quite package.

- 6'2, 200lbs body
- Superb, effortless skater
- Great 1st and breakout passes
- Intelligence
- Dedicated person for things he has to accomplish

I could say that only his shot is still a question mark, but all other talent analysis and that overall package points towards a Norris-level defenceman. Nothing less, if everything goes well.

Whooaaaa.

Might want to reel it in a bit... or choose your words a little more carefully

 

[Bench]

You realize that means top 3 defender in the world, right? With at least 50 points.

I think I stumbled into the alternate reality thread.

The latest scouting report I saw about him from the Athletic seriously questioned his ability to actually play defense. They compared him to a poor man's Mike Green. Calling him anything more than a good PMD at this point is pushing it. Calling him a potential Norris winner right now is like comparing AA to Lemieux. People here have done it, but no one takes them seriously after it happened.

Can you please link that Athletic piece?

 

[Leronziia]

Paired with Daley. Likely holding Kronwall's position.

 

[Vladdy84]

Can't believe Ericsson is still on the team

I'm hoping he can become something similar to Christian Ehrhoff... at the end of the day.

Yeah, Kronwall's days of playing meaningful hockey for the Wings are over.

This is a guy who couldn't cut it in college and is switching to junior hockey at 19...

 

[crashnburnluder]

I don't know if that's the case. I think they wanted him to go to college and start in college because it meant more time in the Gym bulking up. It appears that he did a lot of that and now want him to go to juniors to get more playing time in a more NHL style game. I don't see this as a problem I really want to see how his season goes this season before I start drawing a conclusion.

I can no one wants that contract, We're stuck with him for another season. Then hopefully Holland buys him out next summer.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yup if Blashill is keeping him out like this, Then his days in a Red Wings Jersey is pretty much coming to an end here.
