The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
Exactly. I wonder why he hasn't bulked up yet, he's had more then enough time to do it. If he gained 10-15 lbs he'd be much more effective like you suggest.
Nyquist would be more effective with some weight gain as we'll.
Ferraro actually put on weight and found he was less effective. Pulkkinen did something similar where he actually trimmed weight back off after a rough season. Ferraro at one point put on 10 lbs and lost some of his speed and wasn't as good. He generally understands leverage but occasionally you're going to lose at the NHL level in terms of physical battles. We will see, I don't think he was nearly as bad as some suggest. Thought he played pretty well, was much better than his last go round in the NHL.
