I think at best he'd be a 3rd liner in the NHL. I'd say he's about average in every category. I have no idea why people think this kid is good.
VOB said:I think we had this conversation before Reilly. You stated you were a season ticket holder last season and had the opportunity to see O.Marra quite often but now you live in the Pittsburg area so I am assuming you have seen very little of him this year.
He has all the attributes to be a leigitimate NHL player. He has great size that he is not afraid to use. He handles traffic well and is willing to get his nose dirty in front of the net and in the corners. He already possesses an NHL calber shot and a quick release. His skating is above average and most importantly, he is a charachter type player.
It is no coincidence or short sightedness on the part of every major scouting agency that has O'Marra in the top ten or close to it.
Most who see him, with the exception of O'Reilly, come away impressed with his game.
mad chemist said:Do you think he could be qualified of a power forward or he's just like Kyle Chipchurah(sp?) last year(a safe pick third liner).
Reilly311 said:I've seen 7 otters games this year. If he was 5'10 instead of being 6'2, he probably wouldn't even be drafted.
VOB said:If it were just about size, he would not be so highly ranked.
Reilly311 said:then why did Valabik go so high last year? I know it wasn't because of his amazing hockey skills.
VOB said:Would he be a top 10 consideration at 5'10? Probably not but he still would garner attention due to the other skills he possesses.
