NCAA Nick Sorkin: Try-Out with the Dogs

[Whitesnake]

Well, we've got a big man on a try-out with the Dogs. Can't wait to see how this will turn out to be...but Sorkin is REALLY interesting.

Decent size and got some skill. The size is the big thing.

22yrs old at 6'3.

I know it's with the dogs but the extra youth and body is good for the organization.

He does have good numbers 2 of the last 3 years. Anybody saw him play? Does he use his body? How's his skating?

He has good speed, goes to the net often as well.

Quite bizarre that he didnt receive more attention with his stats this season. Interesting to note he only had 14 pims this season. Does this suggest he uses his size cleanly and intelligently or does it mean he's another Benoit Pouliot?

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Apparently he plays hard and score goals on rebounds and around the net.

Good find Rick16. If those scouting reports are accurate, it'll be a great move if they sign him. Seems like a Red Wings type of prospect to be honest: skilled, good frame, but raw physically.

 

[QuebecPride]

His team's website has him at 6'3 195lbs.

Montreal has made strides in increasing its influence in the NCAA with new management. Probably have had much more proactive recruitment over the course of the season.

Management is really pushing for big undrafted players

Thanks for the info....what little I can find to read about Sorkin is he had a break out season this year. Another big body for the habs is always good news.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Tell me he's a winger ? We need those badly

His a center who has been moved to wing this season.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Wow thats great news I was actually looking at his stats while looking at NCAA UFAS. Big guy that has some skills wish I seen him play to give a report

 

[Scotianhab]

Very interesting.....Hopefully Lefebvre gives him a chance.

Yeah.

Nevins, Fournier.

They should go after Fox, the #2 scoring leader of the OHL this year.

I got a feeling that the Lefebvre-Dufresne combo won't have their contracts extended.

 

[Habaneros]

Flyers invited him to prospect camp in 2012.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

MB loves his big undrafted wingers. This is great news.

Rather than sign a guy like Clarkson for $40 million, MB wants to find the next Clarkson and get him on an ELC.

 

[QuebecPride]

I don't want to be pessimistic, but the fact that Sorkin accepted a PTO and didn't require an ELC says a lot about his profile.

Could be that the Habs wanted a closer look before bulging an Entry-Level Contract and he really felt he had a chance to succeed here, but I think if he had an ELC on the table, he would have accepted it.

I'll take the wait and see approach, but at this point in time, I'm not expecting much.

I hope I'll be wrong though.

 

[Ice Poutine]

Height 6.03 -- Weight 185 ... He definitely need to go over 200 or he'll be bowled over.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Bergevin has been active...

Like Malkin or Simmonds get bowled over right?

Sweet, just what this organization needs
