The biggest thing that confuses me in this thread is since when did we start using CM in America?

wanted to use the portion of my brain that has been dormant for years.....

The biggest thing that confuses me in this thread is since when did we start using CM in America?

When did America start using a system completely different from the rest of the world?

I think the game is gravatating towards skill, speed, and hockey IQ, For this reason I like this pick. Someone mentioned Jack Wise as being a possible pick when Isles picked. I like him too, and honestly I knew more about Jack than Rusian before the Isles made this pick. But watching this kid's tape, and his skill. I am liking how the Isles went slightly off the board here. To me this is a scout's pick, and Lou may have had some info on him before coming to the Isles. I have no way of confirming this, but I think going up to get him in the 2nd rd The Isles may have beaten the Leafs to the punch as this is a player they like to take. We will see but he looks like a neat little player.

For reference..

Truth is, if this kid grows a we little bit and continues to work on core as well as upper body strength, the attributes seem to be there to be a David Desharnais type.

If the wheels come as well, then we may very well be talking about another Palffy.

Still, the odds are ALWAYS against a smaller player of this nature.

But it is good to know that we've got a skill player in the organization who is but just a growth spurt away from being a dynamic scorer!
