He is underrated. Needs to work at being reliable in his own end but he's got game. Fringe top 4D guy but could disappoint like Beaulieu.

That always scares me a bit since when other players around him beef-up, he kinda loses his edge. We’ll see how it goes for him.

I can confirm that he indeed has a brain.

I’m guessing he was being sarcastic

I think Fleury definitely has top 4 upside. I think he could handle being a #5-6 right now, so gotta be more upside than is currrent capacities.

I just saw a game from him at developpement camp. Hes maybe the youngest at the camp, but maybe te best dman after josh brook. It tells a lot about his talent.

Absolutely glowing account by the master of superlatives, Pierre McGuire this afternoon on 690, about Struble.

He's showed a lot good flashes in the scrimmage. Him and Harris have opened my eyes.

Compared the pick to Romanov's. Knows him from watching his son play against him. Says him, Romanov and Harris will play in the NHL for sure.
Also called him a cardiovascular animal and man-sized. As Pierre would.

McGuire also said he has a bit of Chelios in him in terms of style

Yet to have heard anything. Hope it's not serious.
So how high do you think his upside is if you had to guess? I see that he's pretty boom or bust, I just don't know how much boom there is. Can't tell if there's real 1st pairing upside there.
I think potential is sky high! All his attributes scream he could be a complete Dman, with physicality and offense! He only played highschool and never been challenged much. He’s only 17 and already very mature mentally and physically! To me his upside only depends on how coachable he is and how will he be able to adapt and follow a system! I’ve said it pre draft i wanted to draft this kid badly with one of our second and said he would have been a 1st round pick if he played in the CHL!
He’s a modern dman with a physical aspect. The types of one you win with. So hopefully his progression keeps going and even blossom more in a more professional hockey environment!

I have him a Dumba type.
He made a pretty good impression in that scrimmage, too bad we did not get to see more of him. From the previous clips of him, his skating and puck-handling was pretty obvious and he did look like the early PK, so I was looking to see, as the poster above put it, the brain. While it was a very small sample size, I liked what I saw: he showed good poise with the puck and did not rush plays and was solid defensively. Hopefully he will be at the NEU and TSN will show some games again.
