Hedberg16 said:Only on TV. He was really one the only Slovenians I noticed against Canada (along with the Rodman brothers.)
Balej's Dance said:He looks big and rangy. With some slick skills.
jacklours said:Yeah you can definitely see on the picture that he's got some slick skills.
E = CH2 said:I think he's got some skills. I am happy to have been helpful, you don't have to thank me.
Oljase said:Like the others, only saw him in the worlds. Seemed to have decent awareness in both zones. Looks like his skills have potential, but it was his awareness and positioning that I noticed.
X-SHARKIE said:His two way play impressed me as well. At the world vs Germany he struck me as a mature two way centerman. His offensive instincts and hands set him apart, along with his great frame. His offensive touch reminded me a bit of Danny Heatley. His skating game could use work, and he could grow a physical edge, but other wise it all appeared to be there.
I think he's the 5th best player in the draft.

Most reports are accurate. deadly from the hash marks in- tremendous goal-scoring instincts, variety of shots- often sudden or disguised, slick heads-up play with the puck (stickhandling and passing) even in traffic, not a great first step or flashy agility but very strong on his legs, bullish- doesn't get knocked off the puck easily, tremendous eye-hand coordination, seems to be liked by everyone- works hard on and off the ice.
He seems to be growing steadily too.
Vanek and Allison are apt comparisons.
That's his kiss of death right there. Now we know that he'll be a bust.WhitePony said:Interesting...Apparently the Islanders are ENTHRALLED with him. Too bad he won't be around by the 15th pick.
