For anyone who listened to Ray Ferraro shower Stutz with compliments on the Spittin Chiclets podcast (can't miss, surefire NHL difference maker, etc), got me thinking...

I think this is the first time, EVER, that we've had a prospect that seems to be universally loved by people in the game. Think about it... has there ever been another?

Alfie was a late round pick and unexpected surprise
Karlsson was small and had all kinds of question marks
Brady came with some question marks of his own (passed over Zadina etc)
Spezza, well... Spezza
Hossa had his knee surgery issues
etc. etc. etc.

But everyone just loves this kid. Exciting!

The closest was Curtis Lazar in recent times after his WJC stint. Everybody loved him after his WJC.

Karlsson was dominant in his WJC prior to his move to Ottawa, but yeah the buzz being generated by Tim The Stud Stuetzle in next level.

He was still a kid playing against other kids at the WJC.

And while he played in the DEL, we may have to be a little patient as he adapts his junior moves to the NHL.

It's very exciting to have some anticipation and hope and good vibes within this organization after what feels like so long, but that's also a big burden for one guy's shoulders to bear.

Anyway, not trying to be a wet blanket.

If he plays with that aggression and speed and creativity, he'll hopefully satisfy people regardless of whether the goals and points and wins come along.

If there is a parallel with anyone, it's quite clearly Alexandre Daigle.

Anticipation is good for us. I hope he gets some NHL games this year, but more AHL ones (especially in driving toward a play-off run). I think his adjustment to the NHL could be pretty frustrating, and he still needs time at a level where he can dominate and test out new moves and plays. So give us a taste, but move him down before he is too crushed, and leave us waiting for more.

It's like we have Bure sitting in our dressing room.

A guy worth the price of admission on his own.

Hmmm....not long ago someone was asking about comparables and i thought i was the only guy that said Bure...except bigger...which could be scary

Stuetzle is going to surprise NHL defenders with his speed. He's going to burn guys which will help him dangle back inside

Couldn't resist and picked him in my Points Only pool. What are the chances he stays in Ottawa all season?

Pretty good I think. Management seems pretty high on him right now. Only question is just how much icetime and PP time he will get.

He will probably start on LW which means there's a good chance for more opportunities.

I don’t know ... did he have a single breakaway at the u20’s ? I think he is a little slower than Bure types and also plays a little deeper in his own end.

I think the Hossa/Havlat hybrid is a better comp.

It was pretty obvious Lazar didn't have the hands.

Spezza is by far the most similar prospect.

We are not talking hands but hype. Spetzky was a 100 years ago dude. I honestly bought the Lazar hype despite my eyes not quite believing it. That hamburger did him in.

Chabot was universally loved and was tournament MVP.
He was a year older though.

Lazar did not have Stuetzle hype. Spezza did its the only real comparable.
