I mean, you're obviously accounting for the mean size of players in the league in that analysis, right? It's not like players have gotten bigger over time...​

Taller or bigger? Because the average height hasn't gotten that much bigger (I think roughly 2 inches).

Also officially Hartman is listed at 6'0". He's on the smaller size of being a power forward, but I guess Dustin Brown isn't a power forward either.

On another note; over/under on Boldy being called up before Christmas?​

It's about 3 inches. The link I posted for Hockey Charts also shows average weight, which has also gone up from roughly 175lbs in 1940 to 200lbs in 2014. Assuming there hasn't been much change since 2014 (I have to make that assumption because I have no data for after it), Howe was listed as 6'0" 205, which would make the equivalent player today (relative to the league) roughly 6'2.75" and 234lbs. Yeah, that's a modern day power forward frame.

Hartman is listed as 6'0", 181lbs. Little small for the role, but he definitely plays a feisty game so I can see why you'd make the argument for labeling him as such.

I'll give you Howe, but Neely was also a bit undersized as well. Howe also played through the 50s and 60s for most of his career, so the 40s really don't play into his career.

Hartman is weird; he's a better version of Clutterbuck and Stewart, but not really a true power forward in the sense of what we think of a power forward.

I classify them as agitators.

Stewart and Clutterbuck yes, I just don't see Hartman as an agitator. He was scouted as one, but meh, like a lot of scouting reports players don't necessarily turn out the way they are written.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Our WHL players are doing well;

Pillar is 4th in points, Novak is 12th, Lambos is 36th and Bankier is 42nd.

 

[Circulartheory]

Pillar is 4th in points, Novak is 12th, Lambos is 36th and Bankier is 42nd.

To followup, Lambos is tied in 2nd for dman points.

 

[AKL]

First place is Ben Zloty who plays on Winnipeg's top PP unit ahead of Lambos. Zloty was a 2020 draft eligible who went undrafted the last two years.

[The Shadow]

Does McBain get signed when his season is done or does he become a UFA?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Hopefully the former.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Rossi's vision is so good. He's looked like the Rossi I remember watching in junior the past couple of games.

 

[guitarhunterdude]

Rossi's vision is so good. He's looked like the Rossi I remember watching in junior the past couple of games.

I'm definitely not gonna overhype him like I did Granlund and just end up mildly disappointed when he ends up a solid top-six player in a few years. Nope. Not a chance.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Yup. Now he’s hurt

 

[AKL]

Rossi got launched into the boards from behind by a HSK player, he's down, trainer is out there. He might not be back. No penalty. I mean it was a penalty, just nothing called.

 

[chchelseII]

Yup, holding his back/neck. Not good.

 

[Spurgeon]

Yup. Now he’s hurt

You broke the cardinal rule of Minnesota sports, showing optimism towards a team or player is not allowed.

 

[P10p]

Hands went right to his neck. Very worrying, glad he was able to get up. It was a weird hit, in that, he was far enough away from the boards that he fell completely to the ice before crashing into the boards with his head/neck

 

[P10p]

Rossi back in the game thank Finnish baby Jesus

 

[AKL]

McLeod just earned all of his money in 10 seconds standing up for Boldy like that.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Mason Shaw from Boldy and Rossi I believe

 

[AKL]

Should be Rossi and Boldy assists on that goal

 

[P10p]

Rossi and Boldy assists on Shaw's goal. Was a rebound goal on the blast by Boldy.

 

[Digitalbooya]

I think Rossi and Boldy with the assists on Shaw's goal.
