Anyone wanna take a guess on when he'll come to the NHL? Also what player will he be most like if anyone knows? I know we've prob all heard the Iginla but does his play reflect Iginlas?
No!
Iginla was more subtle, even at 14. He would never, for instance have a huge back swing on his slap shot, basically telegraphing that his shot is coming. He is much more of a quick snap shot artist. Iginla also had an amazing dangle at 14.
Okpokso actually reminds me of Ryan Reeves of the Brandon Wheat Kings. They both have very similar body types and skating strides. Okpokso is probably a little quicker than Reeves while Reeves is probably a little more physical. Unlike Okpokso I don't that Reeves will ever catch on in the NHL.
