Prospect Info: Erik Portillo, G, 67th 2019, University of Michigan

[Matt Ress]

Looks like a good goalie prospect for whatever that's worth.

Is it a hard "L" sound? Because I always read it like the rolling "EE", as in the malbec.

I keep doing the same thing.

On a video I watched the swedish announcer pronounced it POR TEE LO.

 

[Chainshot]

It would be interesting if he makes the Swede u20 team.

 

[Husko]

Glad we took a goalie. That pipeline was disgustingly barren. It’s inexcusable the way we’ve neglected the position lately. Should take one every year.

Barren?

Wolves’ Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Named OHL Goaltender of the Year – Ontario Hockey League

Botts has now taken two goalies in his three drafts and they have both been with his third pick of the draft.

I think the big miss was the 2016 Draft where they had 10 picks and didn't take a goalie or two.

Yeah we generally didn't too well with those ten picks. 2017 was much more productive with 4 less grabs.

Fun fact:

They actually got their lunch order and draft card confused.

Ate there a couple of weeks ago. Always a must-do when in the Chicago area. That and Lou Malnati's. YUM.

UPL looks like a great prospect, but yes it unquestionably was barren in terms of sheer number of prospects. The organization just hasn’t drafted enough of them going back a solid 10 years.

I would call the goalie prospect depth thin, but far from barren when you have a guy like UPL in the pipeline.

Not sure if I understood this right but I think you're talking about how the double L should be pronounced? I'm sure he is of Spanish or South American descent so I guess it should be pronounced that way. In Sweden I think I've only heard the L sound pronunciation, though.

Having lived in Latin America, I see double L's and automatically default to the Spanish, even if that isn't how his name is pronounced.

I speak Spanish (on a decent level ), so yes, I feel the same way as you.

Even with the emersion, I do not.

 

[Chainshot]

Made 32 saves on 33 shots in the 2-1 "win" yesterday against the US Blue team (quotes because the puck didn't actually go in).

I think he means it was barren for a long time, not that it is currently with UPL.


Smart to take a goalie with a third.

 

[Buffalo Norsemen]

Also had a good organisational keeper prospect difect to the Kings.

 

[Chainshot]

Making saves.

We have em here in Minnesota now, dat italian beef with sweet peppers and a chocolate cake will send you into a coma

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Sounds like a soccer player.

 

[Jim Bob]

OK, that set is so filthy!

 

[UnleashRasmus]

OK, that set is so filthy!

These are simply put, the best goalie pads I've seen. If his helmet is also knight based, wow! I love this kids style!
