1st line upside, likely a good 2nd liner. Plays a very different style to that of Marchand.

Give Danny a break. We Americans don't wear snowshoes every time we leave the house like you guys.

You mean on TV? No. AHL games on TV are only lockout events.
Well that sucks but I guess with baseball back Sportsnet is going to be showing the Jays every night

Don't forget TVA showing Sens games shown from a studio when they are already on Sportsnet East.

I just ordered TVA sport a few weeks ago but only watch the Impact games
I guess it's comparable to watching a game on RIS
I never seem to get a good read on NCAA prospects, but I view Kristo as the ultimate boom or bust guy. Elite speed, hands, vision... fantastic tools.... but questionable toolbox.
I don't see him as a boom or bust guy...maybe when he was drafted, but right now his game is more well rounded. As long as he matures and follows what MB and co want him to act like off ice, I think he'll be in the NHL playing top 9 minutes full time within 24 months, wether here or another NHL team.

I'm sure even in America there's a difference between shoes & snowshoes. You might not wear snowshoes but I'm sure you wear shoes.

Yeah, Danny was wearing shoes from what I heard, but one of his feet sunk into deep snow and the shoe came off and he couldn't find it. That was why he only had frostbite on one foot and on the hand that he was digging with to find the shoe. (Remember, it was in the -20s F without the windchill factor, at the time, in Grand Forks, ND)
I don't know anything about what other rumors are out there floating in air.
It may be more well rounded, but he's still one of those players that is either on a scoring line or in the minors/pressbox. for me that's the definition of a boom/bust forward.
There's also the adjustment to the pro game factor, as well as makeup questions.
Put it this way, in 3 to 5 years I wouldn't be surprised if he was a 70+ points a season type or on the bubble and in out of the roster of a second or third pro team.
He does seem to be trending towards being the former though.
He is not a boom/bust prospect. If he is not scoring, he can still play a bottom six role. He is not overly physical, but he provides a ton of energy, is a very tenacious forechecker that can put pressure on the opposition. IMO, he has a very good to be a full time NHL player, in some capacity, within a year.
He played PK in UND and with his speed/quickness and anticipation, I'm sure he could also do it in the pros.
Most top teams have 3 skill lines and a checking/banging line. Weaker teams have 2 and 2. If he can put up 40-50 points a year he'll have a roster spot somewhere in the NHL. SK74 is worse than him and he still has a job!
