Prospect Info: 2023 pick 71 C Brandon Svoboda

[PacificOceanPotion]

It's not just that the universe won't listen, but that it's a quantum anomaly that has no consciousness or other ability to process an insignificant human's words.

Oh ye of little faith jk jk

 

[The Nemesis]

Future 3rd line center or winger. Not gonna score a lot of pts but will be hard to play against because of his big frame. Willing to bet he packs on muscle and grows his mental game and compete in college. Have faith Nem. Speak it into the universe my friend.

Players tend not to grow the mental game though. Schemes and systems can be taught, and maybe sometimes you can motivate someone who has tended to dog it or coast at times once he realizes he has to compete harder to keep up, but if a guy lacks hockey sense it's rare for him to suddenly have the light switch flick on and become smarter. Hockey sense/IQ usually manifests as an innate ability to think and process the game at an appropriate pace.
