He understands his weaknesses, body control and skating. That's half the battle.

To certain posters who think Ginning cant turn out.

He’s currently tracking to be a mediocre 3rd pair defenseman. Maybe his development takes a massively positive turn in the coming years, but I’m pretty skeptical. Poor puck skills usually continue to stay poor and mediocre hockey sense is rarely improved over time. I could end up being wrong about this player though! Time will tell

You're probably right but let's hope he's a cheap 3rd pair hard nosed d in the future.

And that means what?
I'm sure you can find GIFs of Pronger making plays like that in the NHL if you looked hard enough.
A 19 year old making a mistake isn't exactly conclusive.

Funny thing, after a string of AMac "starfish" posts, a couple games later I'm looking at a Sanheim starfish, somehow that GIF never made the board. Can't imagine why.

To me? Nothing. I dont watch Ginning nearly enough to comment on him one way or the other. Unlike most, I dont make wild assumptions and spew BS about things that I am not fully educated on.

Someone asked for the gif. I supplied it.
