Hockey Sense|Competitiveness|Skating|Hands|Goal Scoring
3/5|3/5|4/5|3/5|3/5

Projection: No. 3 Two-Way Centre
"Very smooth and effortless skater who can use it effectively both offensively and defensively. Very good awareness and has the suitability to be a solid two-way centre."

So tsn hates him

 

[jax00]

No respect for a anyone who bangs Christian Ponder.

 

[Vipers31]

Seems like Bonino is a good comparison

On NBCSN the first thing they said that he was defined over his speed, so I'm not entirely sure on that.

Seems like Bonino is a good comparison

From the video looks more like MP22.....haven't seen this guy play at all

When your NHL comparable is Chris Tierney, you're not gonna be happy.

Yeah . . . I'm struggling to picture Chris Tierney.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

His older brother passed away in his sleep, Sam changed his number to #23 to honor his brother.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Don't see him ever making the show but you can never say never I guess

Premature, he is pretty young , lot of growing maturing to do with body alone. Look forward to seeing g what he can become

 

[MMC]

I've been thinking for awhile that Jones and Steel would be a great combo. Love that we got this duo.

Max jones and Sam steel seems like something out of marvel

 

[McDonald19]

Happy we added another forward with the extra 1st rounder.

A little worried that there is no upside as a 2nd line center, but a really good two-way third line center sounds good too.

 

[Markus078]

Mixed feelings about this, Bitten or Mascherin look like better options to me.

I think Nattinen is our upside top six center.

I believe on Elite prospects they said a comparable was Bonino, which would be great.
