We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Solid pick.
Size, late birthday and improved immensely
Any other info that's not obvious would be great.

He might be the son of Gil Thorpe from Modern Family.
So you're telling me he can play goalie as well? STEAL
Big. Can skate. Shows some offensive ability. If he's a teachable kid, there's a path for him.
He’s grown 10 inches and put on 50 lbs in the last two years which is pretty incredible. He has a physical presence and is starting to develop a nice touch around the net. His coaches in Vancouver were very high on him. I think this is a very solid pick for the 5th round and I suspect you’ll see him eventually play in the show.
Good thing he’s not from “Dildo” or “Come by Chance” then.
Stop being the voice of reason, you. These guys are all awesome. We are killing it. Dean Letourneau is gonna bust for the Bruins, and this guy is going be the big player they wanted.
7'5" in 2028, I can live with that
The progression is interesting, but if the only reason he's progressing is size and strenght vs. Juniors, he won't get much further than the ECHL. I like the gamble, though.
Imagine if he was born in Intercourse, PA

Late birthday for last year’s draft. He’s a 2005 born
Yeah, my dumbass read it wrong.
Still liking it. I guess if it was his first year at that size and production he wouldn't be there.
Yeah I don’t know anything about him but I’d suspect he’d be a late 1st rounder, early 2nd if he was first year eligible.
As a Giants fan there’s definitely some upside with this pick. Was the only one scoring goals at the beginning of the year then got hurt off a skate cut. Very good skill set of size/speed/shot and showed a lot more comfort in his size last year vs his original draft year. Expecting a big year for him. His vision/playmaking would be where I would be concerned.
