Gormley gets beat wide with speed so often. That was pathetic. How did he get picked so high with such poor footspeed?

He was actually a top 5 talent that suffered a major knee injury. Not really all that different from the Murphy pick.

Was he slow as molasses before the injury? Murphy always had all the tools and solid hockey smarts, he just couldn't stay healthy. Gormley has great hockey IQ but god he's slothful. I remember him falling, I wonder if his awful speed was why.

He fell due to his injury, and was a great value where he was picked. Players bust. Give him an offseason (if he even is a Coyote by the end of it) with a properly good skating coach and see what you've got. Smarts are obviously there.

Idiot Gionta! That just shows you, if there is one team that you could catch in this situation it's Buffalo. Even if you get the extra point, life has been given when it should have been snuffed out.

That is the Buffalo way.

The Hanifin joke is getting a little old, guys. There's a dude named Jack Eichel between McDavid and Hanifin, just saying.

He's looked slow since we drafted him, at least since his first prospect camp. If he hasn't been to a properly good skating coach yet then this organization is a joke. The excusable since maloney had such a limited scouting budget but I have a hard time believing just his injury dropped him when his skating is this poor.

Then the jokes on you apparently because Hanifin is literally the most likely scenario at this point.
