I was wondering the same thing when I saw this:

I was wondering the same thing when I saw this:

Eh, his eligibility is up at DU. I have no idea if it has to do with him signing with the Oilers, but it's likely just about leaving DU. He'll sign with the Oilers soon enough though.

From Hockey's Future:

LaLeggia is a puck-moving defender that has above average hockey sense and processes the game at a very high rate. He has fluid skating skills, is an excellent passer, and can control the power play. The small defender is an offensive blueliner that can score but has difficulty with physicality in the defensive zone.

Small puck moving defenseman that has difficulty with physicality... of course the Oilers signed him.

5'10, 185lbs is not a shrimp though. He's stocky and thick for his frame.

NCHC offensive defenseman of the year
NCHC defenseman of the year
NCHC player of the year

He also won two of those last year. To be negative about him means you're just looking for excuses to be negative.

Legssss

Awesome signing. Get him in the AHL asap, maybe an NHL game for fun

I have more faith in him then I do any D prospect below the big 3. From all accounts size isn't an issue

 

[Digger12]

So, confirmed that he'll be heading down to OK this weekend to join their lineup for the playoffs.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Smallish D--but gives us an option. Sounds like he will need 2 years on the farm or so.

Or he has his own opinion. Knock it off with the psycho analysis.


On LaLeggia, glad to have him signed. Hopefully he develops for us.

Betker and Legs going to Bakersfield with Nurse and maybe Hanifin... more excited for those four than Musil, Simpson, Gernat, Davidson, Oesterle, Hunt, etc.

And yes, Legs > Joey Hockey

 

[Canovin]

With the new CBA, does Slepyshev have to be signed this year or next year? I hope him and Platzer sign a ELC.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

If Sprugeon can play in the NHL, i'm sure Laleggia can find a way.

He's also the only OFD in the system outside of Schultz. He got 5 and a game in his last college game for blowing a guy up with an open ice hit. He's more physical than half our D right now.

He's had an excellent hockey career in college. Of course they signed him. He would have been one of the most highly sought collage free agents if he was undrafted.

Just heard him on Stauffer. Joey said he's 5'10 and 180. So he is a small guy, but not impossibly small.

Hanifin may opt to go back to college, which I'm fine with also.
