[Shrimper]

NHLN had him as a RW, EP says LW?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Played with Almari, so the Pens saw him quite a bit.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

NHLN had him as a RW, EP says LW?

We take guys who play both now.

Its a must


Just like our Safety/LB requirement for Steelers draft picks lol

 

[Ogrezilla]

he's under 6ft? I don't want him.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Soooo, we went all forwards?

 

[farscape1]

5'9 so hope he grows.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

he's under 6ft? I don't want him.

What a waste of a pick.

 

[Lust for Life]

Played with Almari, so the Pens saw him quite a bit.

And Emil Larmi as well.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

5'9 so hope he grows.

Size is not as important as it once was.

 

[Ogrezilla]

5'9 so hope he grows.

how often do people gain any real height after 20?

 

[66-30-33]

5'9 so hope he grows.

2 years from now he will be 6'7.

 

[farscape1]

Size is not as important as it once was.

That's what I keep telling her. What!

 

[wej20]

how often do people gain any real height after 20?

I'm 30 and still waiting to break 5'9, this will be the year I can feel it.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

sarcasm detectors need new batteries

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

2 years from now he will be 6'7.

His skating will be explosive, because his tendons will be stretched like rubber bands.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Another power forward

 

[66-30-33]

I'm 30 and still waiting to break 5'9, this will be the year I can feel it.

34
5'10
175

One day I will reach 6'3 and 230.

 

[Ryder71]

he's under 6ft? I don't want him.

Yeah, right? I thought for a second he'd be 6'9 not 5'9. Now we're taken out of our game plan I guess. I wonder what went wrong.

 

[Lust for Life]

He had a very successful season, won both the WJC and the national championship.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Soooo, we went all forwards?

Going forward this should mean we will be trading guys for dmen. Remember when we used to draft dmen to trade for forwards cuz we couldnt develop them? Now its the opposite

 

[wej20]

Highly doubt he was at the combine so he could well be 5'9 but on skates.

 

[wej20]

Scores the second HPK goal.

 

[Burn]

What a waste of a pick.

There was definately better but hope he can skate.

Can't wait to see bigger heavier players playing in Sullivan's churn your legs system. There is a clear disconnect between GM, coachand whats needed.

 

[Peat]

So, uh, the only thing I can find is somebody in the WJC Finland thread here thought he was important to the team and a grindy guy. That's it.
