Love Grewe's hockey IQ and his compete level.
He is a guy that his coach in Sweden admits gets practice to be played harder on his SHL club. He makes veterans practice harder as a 17 year old... I know certain quotes are just quotes but when hockey executives, coaches and scouts say certain things over the years these kind of ones always make me take note. He does get a ton of his stuff done through hard work, I find that overtime people will actually laud his hockey IQ as it is a part of what is driving the hard work. I question his hands really, but have seen enough there. I just really like Grewe, guys that play the game that hard usually make the NHL, they will themselves there. He reminds me so much of Bertuzzi, he really does. I think the guy would run through the boards face first if it meant something for his team.
Agree that Tuomisto has a good top gear, heck Ericsson has a good top gear and a way better first three strides so there is a player I know people go nuts on around here. Tuomisto has a lot of the Ericsson makeup if we want to go with a current Wings player but just a worse skating makeup. I actually think his explosiveness is worse than Holmstrom though again the top gear and stride are better so you hope they have a plan there. I also think he is going to need more agility wise. But he is a project with a long runway with Europe and the NCAA hockey ahead. We have a player to work with, it is on Horcoff and Cleary to make him something great, hopefully they can. I believe in those two guys, they are getting handed a lot of kids over the last three years, but hopefully we continue what I have seen lately here, I believe in those guys and I am glad Yzerman has kept them.
