Prospect Info: #166 Overall, LW Josh Filmon, Swift Current WHL

[Guttersniped]

Loving this pick.



Seems to score a lot of interior goals, which is much needed here. Reminds me of Alex Killorn.

A couple of those goals, he's got some Matthews-esque contortion going on to get the puck through a screen and create a better shooting angle.

Those highlights make want to prepare a care package of frozen steaks and pasta for him. He’s so skinny lol.

Talked about it when discussing Pickering in another thread, but skinny, especially just following a growth spurt,to me suggests more upside.

got a feeling he's gonna be good

I always laugh when people say “I put on x amount of pounds of muscle”

It’s the biggest crock in sports.

In my view, that would be when the 37 year old guy shows up for training camp claiming he lost x pounds and is in the best shape of his career.

“Best shape of my career” is a meme at this point lol

The dude wasn’t kidding about being lanky, there’s a lot to fill out so I believe it. (Unless you’re complaining about the “muscle” part.)

Believe me I don’t doubt he put on significant muscle, but a large percentage of that is always fat

Well it's not that I don't believe he put on 20 pounds. I think it's a certainty he did. I'm laughing at the "of muscle" part. That's just not how that actually works so it's always funny to see people say that.

Yeah, I changed my post, I realized you might have meant the muscle part. I think there’s a real chance it was weight and the interviewer added muscle because it sounds cooler.

He was Ichabod Crane after shooting up, he put on some muscle.

All good my man all good

Apparently Josh had a goal and three assists last night in his team's first preseason game.

EDIT: Yup, he sure did: Boston Pizza Recap: Broncos open pre-season with win over Warriors – Swift Current Broncos

This is one prospect I'm starting to get real intrigued about.

This is the skinny dude we were all hyped on during draft day, right?

Yes sir. 6'3" I believe and just 160 lbs

 

[Clam Jensen]

Hell yea.

If Elias “Toast” Petterson can make that work so can this kid

The only true measure of a players height is if I meet them and I have to look up or down at him.

The angle of my head determines how ridiculous their height listing is. It’s almost never correct and mostly ranges from slightly off to a complete joke.

I would the prospects combine measurements to be pretty accurate. After that, it's anyone's guess.

The eye test is not always great. I'm 6'4" but I don't look it cause I slouch. I think you learn to do that growing up so you don't hit your head on things when you're that tall.

I’m 6’2” and can only base this on standing in front of or next to player at autograph events but the number of guys listed at around 6’2” that were definitely shorter than me is large.

I`m 6`0, 196-198. 150 push ups(75 in a row before the job and 75 after) and 50-70 pull ups (start with 20 and than go down) through the day, plus push ups on the bars. Every second day. I don't look very impressive because I have a big head and ass. Genethic.

Better a big ass than a pancake ass.

I think we are all getting closer than we have ever been. 1st it was posting about our dogs and cats (which I forgot to show pictures of my new pup) and now it’s giving out our measurements . I feel like we are getting to the hfboards version of A/S/L . I do like long walks on the beach.

My wife told me the same, but she really loves me.
