Just a little note for all you teenagers hoping to grow a few more inches after you turn 18. Not likely gonna happen. The odd kid grows another inch or two after he's 17, but it's the exception and not the rule.
Ryan White
- Thread starter sbtatter
- Start date
I didn't see much of Ryan White but can we say that is Bredan Morrow type of player... Morrow is 5-11 and 210 pounds and White likes to go in the corners and mustly puts is points due to his hard work
I was speaking to a western conference scout who is really pissed off that his team didn't take White in the second round of last year's draft.
"I had him on my list as the guy to take, but a couple of our guys liked one other guy a little more, and we took him instead," said the scout. "I was shocked no one took him in the second round."
"I think he was a little fat last year; it's unbelievable how much he's improved, he got himself in good shape and gained a step, and now he's a dominant player. But how he goes in the third round is beyond me...we should have grabbed another second rounder and got him."

What is that team?!!!!!?!!!
Can I know? (or it's better to keep it private?).
Maybe Ryan White (3rd round) will have a better career than Ben Maxwell (Hab prospect, 2nd round)...still too early to tell though...

Between the ages of 18 and 20, the human male can expect to grow an average of approx. 1cm (.5 inch) and 4 kg (almost 10lbs).

That's not growing an inch or two is it.... so I gather you were supporting my assertion?
How would you compare him to Steve Downie regarding their style and NHL potential?

Jeez, I watched White today on Sportsnet (vs Kelowna) and he was fantastic... his passing is incredible and he's great along the boards. Two goals, two assists, and two shorthanded points (one goal and one rediculous no-look pass). He works really hard along the boards and I like his grit. Definatly a steal in the 3rd round, IMO if he works on consistency and improves his skating a bit he can easily be a top six forward in his career.
