Prospect Info: [2023 - 101st] Florian Xhekaj (OHL - Brantford Bulldogs)

He faces the same challenge as Florian, he has to get quicker to make the next level.
I agree with you, but I wouldn’t sleep on Thorpe. With the massive growth spurt he went through, it took some time for his body and mind to catch up to where his technique should be. I find that his skating has improved (his fighting ability as well) as he’s gained some muscle on his frame. He needs to work on his quick bursts and edges, but I find he’s improved dramatically in his overall game and I predict will play in the show someday. He makes the smart plays this year and has looked great in the games I’ve watched. Seems to be much more complete this year (to me) although his stats don’t reflect that as much in the scoring department. I’m a fan, and I think we got a really nice player here with some potential.

But jokes aside lol, he has *blown away* my expectations since the draft
And my expectation was can he even be a 4th liner

Now it's treading towards wait can he be a f***ing 3rd liner? Lol
Good for him, keep it up

Many where mad when he was drafted since they thought he could have been drafted earlier me the 1st but he was a great pick
