Ah, I'm not sure where that is coming from, he doesn't have much of a shot. But he's tenacious defending in his own end (a Bulldog), covers his check like glue, hit's a bit for a little guy (not a truck) skates really well and passes the puck up ice effectively.
I'm not disputing what you say, all I'm saying is that the write-up was from Elite Prospects...they probably wrote it years ago.
I know you're not friend. And I also assume it probably written when he was at Harvard and was likely pretty impressive at the level. There are those Biega enthusiasts here in Vancouver (Biega is a cult hero here) that will tell you he does hit hard, shoot hard etc. I'm just trying to help set some realistic expectations with a realist take.
Cool, no worries, I appreciate it. I hope Pope finally figures it out & is some use to the Nucks, though not likely. What are your thoughts on the Ferland signing (term & $) ?
I've always liked Ferland. Liked the way he plays the game, like his backstory - indigenous kid growing up poor tha males good. All of that.
well because this is also my thought - wouldnt it have made more sense to call up Kaski (at the time he wasnt called up, now he is) and/or Hicketts than to trade for another dman and see what you have in them? so, seeing they traded for another dman, i kind of want to assume that guys are either more hurt than they thought or a potential trade brewing with a dman not coming back....
