Dumais looked great in that game as well at 16 years old, he's one to look out for.

Same with L'Heureux, Zachary who is expected to be drafted in the 10-20 range this coming draft.

I should add:

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

I've liked this player since the moment I saw him at cats training camp a few years ago. He popped out immediately by doing all the little things right, winning 50/50 battles, board play, etc.

This is what stood out to me as well when i saw him play a few years ago. He was doing all the right things away from the puck. The lack of offense was simply due to the lack of opportunities playing behind older elite (elite for the CHL) offensive players on a team eyeing a Memorial Cup run. Playing more minutes and playing on a top PP will showcase the offensive side of his game and he should have a really good year offensively.

He's going to be a good 2-way player down the line imo.

For our Philadelphia friends, noyers means walnuts, so you can be creative and find him a nice nickname for when he makes the show!

He has already been dubbed "Destroyer".

Hmmm...so Destroyer of Walnuts?

Keep it simple and call him Nutcracker.

 

[PDX Flyer]

Keep it simple and call him Nutcracker.

He is the next Bobby Clarke so all Russian influences are strictly prohibited

 

[mazmin]

Keep it simple and call him Nutcracker.

We’re talking Phili fans here... so it’s clearly going to be ‘Deez Nuts’

4 goal game tonight. Second hat trick of the season so far

 

[Tripod]

Scored 22 seconds into the game

Scored his 4th of the game with 36 seconds left to get the GWG in a 5-4 win.

Obviously 1st star of the game.

Obviously 1st star of the game.

That was his 2nd 4 goal game already, this season.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

1 goal 2 assists.
Now has 20 points in 12 games so far this season.

 

[Tripod]

Now 3rd in league scoring.....1 point behind the leaders.

Walnuts in Russian will be "грецкие орехи" (sounds like Gretzky orekhi). It`s open even more space for creativity

 

[danyhabsfan]

seems like the Philly scout got it right.


Seems like a good pick so far.

 

[bigdirty]

11 goals in 61 games last year
11 goals in 12 games this year
I mean, obviously nobody expects him to keep up that pace, but still.

I expect him to keep up this pace.

So, 11 goals in 2 games next year?

If anyone here watched him over the last few years they’d know how snake bitten he’s been up until this point. I’m glad they are starting to go in. Good kid

Did you watch him lots? Any insight would be great.

Ya watched him a lot. Nice hands. Good speed. A very determined player. Fairly good on the dot. Doesn’t try to drive the defence wide but goes straight to the net. Gets through traffic well and draws many penalties getting grabbed or hooked by the last man back. Shows good maturity and looks like a good team player.
