Classic Gabe apple for Hagens. 2-2

A spin-o-rama no look behind the back seam pass that his teammate could walk into---not too much mustard--not too little.....just enough.

is Brody Lamb becoming legit?

It’s amazing how the offense just seems to find Gabe. He very easily could have had 5+ points last night. Has no problem dictating the pace every time he’s out there, even if he doesn’t look as polished as some other players. I suspect the play will just slow down to his speed in the NHL, similar to Panarin. It’s kind of weird how much he resembles Fox on offense.

Leonard is also all over the ice obviously and looked awesome. I do wonder how much of that will translate against bigger and stronger players though. He won’t be able to dangle the way he does now in the NHL, or skate around people. Seems like his floor though is a Ryan Callahan type - not bad.

Leonard’s ability to create space for himself and his line mates with out the puck goes overlooked and is something that always translates from level to level.

I don’t think he’s going to be able to play the same wrecking ball style though I’m sure he’ll try as it’s embedded in his DNA. He is going to need to dial that back a bit if he wants to stay in one piece.

Hell of a player, wish we had him.

I disagree. Having insane high IQ is what translates to higher levels. Being stronger and creating space is what does not always translate as well to a higher level with bigger and stronger competition.

More than one thing can translate. Leonard’s speed and some other attributes will translate, will help him create space. He’s also just 19, he will get heavier and stronger. And he’s not playing against 16-20 year olds in juniors, he’s playing against 18-23 year olds. His game will be very similar, stylistically, I’m not saying 1.5ppg of course, in the NHL by the time he is 23 to what he is playing now. Yes dialed back a bit, but I still see him as translating well.

It was more a general observation about power forward types in lower levels translating. But I do think Leonard translates pretty well to the NHL.

Yeah but the space creating is tied to his IQ. He does things with out the puck and varies his tempo and routes about as well as anyone.

That will carry over. He doesn’t have crazy vision or anything like that (though his passing is underrated) but his IQ is strongest in areas that really suit his style.

3rd line RW please

Fair enough.

legit in the sense that we cabn't write him off as an NHL prospect 3 years into his NCAA career, which is more than we can say for a lot of mid round picks.

I don't think he's pushing a top 10 prospect for us like Laba (Noah's skating is much better), but he'll get a contract and work his way in the AHL from there.
