Yay yet another smurf as if we didn't have enough.
LOL people complaint about size. I wonder if the same people complaining about that now a days were complaining when they offered Zuccarello a contract.

Low risk move, the kid seems to have some goal scoring touch.
Hartford could use some guys with skill and scoring ability, outside of Tambo it seems everyone else on that team is a grinder.
Where is a beat writer when you need one.....
His agent works for the same agency that represents Lindberg and Rafael Diaz.

Translated from the link in OP.Any confirmation on whether it's an AHL deal or an NHL deal and for now long?

Nice hands, yet another prospect who's game exists from the top of the circle to the net. Opportunistic scorer. Good skater, good bursts of speed but not speedy, really good at shielding the puck from defenders and along the boards, but does have balance issues at times. Was at the Leafs rookie camp last year.
The more the better, that team needs a serious injection of youth and skill.Hartford will also be adding Nieves full time (assuming he wins a spot), and potentially guys like Kovacs and Stromwall. Gropp is a possibility as well.
I mean it's just absurd. If you think someone has NHL-caliber offensive potential you don't not sign them because they're a hair under six-foot. Honestly, who knows what the team looks like in a few years? We could have a team of giant brutes and be in desperate need of a skill guy.
It's the same reason you don't draft based on need, but go BPA (generally speaking). There's no telling what the future holds. You don't acquire prospects based on what the NHL team needs today when the prospects won't be ready for a couple seasons or more.
Regardless of that, this is an AHL deal and he's not even Rangers property. For all we know he could leave to go sign somewhere else, like Marchessault.
