NHL Network have him listed at 6'1" and 213 lbs

I do love my protz before I hit the gym

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Hope he has decent puck skills sounds like Sobolev or Leguerrier.

 

[domiwroze]

Canada's version of Emelin

doubt he becomes anything more than that.

Or bust.

That would be a pretty good result for a 4th rounder.

 

[djscooter]

Watched him a lot in Sudbury this year, elite physical guy, skating is actually pretty good, also had a really good first pass out of the zone.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Alright. As your team moves forward and has to deal with cap crunch, you lose players and you need depth guys to replace them. He may be one of those guys someday.

 

[the valiant effort]

I like it

 

[c3z4r]

doesn't seem wise to draft another LD with how overcrowded the pipeline is already, but BPA I guess?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Nasty & physical and can handle the outlet. A Struble type.

 

[Seb]

Bienvenue à Montréal, Owen!

[Vachon23]

Don’t hate it, he seem like a physical beast

Outscored both in their draft year (even D+1 for Sobolev since he did not play in his D year).

Most will have graduated the AHL in two years when Protz become eligible.

Need to keep an influx.

Dmen taken in the 4th+ round are usually 4-5 years away minimum. The dcore could be very different from now.

Guy projects to be more of a bottom pairing player. Good to have those in the pipeline on ELCs as depth/call ups

Project player. 2 more years of junior. Time in the minors. Best case, it's likely 5 years before he wears the uniform - if at all. Excellent chance there's room. If there isn't, a 4th was spent on a guy for Laval.

Sobolev is more like emelin

The next Ben Chiarot ?

The next Ben Chiarot ?

I haven't seen him play but if you pick a player that plays 650 games in the 4th round, that is massive win

I'll take an Emelin clone in the 3rd all day long
