The narrative's that he's close to his peak without much more room for improvement and that his skating isn't good. Of course, I'm not buying that lack of potential improvement considering how much he managed to improve in just the last year.

The other thing to keep in mind is that Jukurit is an awful, awful Liiga team, a perennial bottom feeder with a very tiny budget. He wasn't exactly in a position to succeed, yet still had a historical Liiga season.

WE NEED FEDOR GORDEEV

 

[Paradoc]

Can Dubas draft one player over 6' please!!!!

He's 5'11 according to Elitepropects. I think down the road he can definitely be above 6'.

As long as we are prioritizing skill and hockey IQ, I have no problems drafting small players.

Really like this pick
