Edit: Post #138 here has a good briefing of the players available.
Also you can check out this thread linked below (the first post has a great prescription of each player available to us). March 2023 Draft Rankings/Mock
—————
I’m hoping to do something like the following but then add to it as I go through the thread. This isn’t a full write up on him as I’d like more intake from interactions on here then just me repeating something that can be googled and putting it into my opinion only. I think we can evaluate better as a group that way. Since it’ll only be a handful of players with not that much time to find a new GM in Pittsburgh we may as well see if we qualify as the interim and get to know as much about the player as possible. Quality over quantity.
Colby Barlow
Comparison(s): Timo Meier
Like a James Neal.
LW
6’1” 187
59 GP: 46 G 33 A 79P
Traits, skates, and takes; When you see Captain Colby skate you think of scoring touches from the moment he has the puck. The type of guy who when in control, the opposition fan is holding their breath. Plays similar to Timo Meier and looks like James Neal on the ice. Cue the Neal (Colby) Armstrong jokes.
as long as he moonwalks his way to the net so be it…
He goaled his way to 46 in 59 outings with 14 of them coming in the way of Specials (1 short handed goal). He had 296 shots on net. What Jake is to Sid. I think Colby Barlow would be to Malkin.
He is capable of being a Left handed Right Wing for Line 1. And again, a LW for line 2 if that’s where he ends up. Either way he’s a top 6 winger.
Ranks 8 to 15th overall.
