Nice write-up on him

Slightly nervous they don't love his skating. If you're not quick enough to gain separation and not strong enough to not need it, it's a tough league. But we'll see. Obviously it being a late pick makes it easy to accept weaknesses.

If he can run rampant over the AHL and help other guys I'd consider that a win in the 7th!

Hey, if Conner Sheary could make it...

Sheary was a undrafted pickup.

Not that I hate this pick, the size is always a stickler. It takes quality players to make it as a undersized player in the NHL.

I love home run swings. Even if he makes it, Sully will break him though.

One can pray that Sully isn't here by the time this dude is NHL ready.

If Sullivan is still here by the time this guy sniffs the NHL, I'm gonna become a Flyers fan

Oh you poor thing.

By the time Swanson may be NHL ready, we will be the Southie Sullies relocated to the wicked meccah of our lord and savior.

Sully will still be here when we build a new arena. He is forever.

 

[The Old Master]

Sometimes with small guys I’m like “GMs are so dumb and size queens” and then I see the size/weight and realize I could actually manhandle some of em. Then I get why they fall more.

but you would need to catch him first. might be a little harder than you think.

I needed a new man crush now that Tankov is cooling off.

 

[MayorofWBS]

His dad played a handful games with the Oilers and Thrashers. The old man is listed at 5'11, 198 during his playing days so there may be some slight growth potential there yet.

 

[Hell Yeah!!!]

Mac Swanson immediately passes everyone in the Penguins system as the highest NHLe aggregate, 35% star, 71% NHLer. As a 7th rounder.

Lol is that the best pic they could find of him? He looks like he's 9.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Get that young man on some testosterone boosters. Hopefully he is like DOC or Pickering and have some type of growth spurt.

 

[Andy99]

Hey he’s American and if he’s from Boston watch out….Sullivan might have another niece

The pic you're looking at on your phone is his actual size

WTF is NHLe aggregate and why is it so bad?

I do enjoy that a player as tall as my wife is named Mac.

Luckily 9 year olds usually hits a growth spurt along the way!

Sheary was a undrafted pickup.

Not that I hate this pick, the size is always a stickler. It takes quality players to make it as a undersized player in the NHL.

Negatives seem to be size and explosiveness in skating. Sheary was also small and fell down a lot, so as long as this chap can keep upright maybe he's got a chance.

His head is also probably below the level of the average Ranger defenseman's elbow, so his size may work to his advantage.

Forgot that Zam Plante played for Fargo Force too. Do we not let our scouts go to games where we don't already have a player involved?

I think Dubas was pretty big on the USHL in Toronto too.

I'm assuming the e is for excrement.

Yea.. like a 7th rounder with the body of an 11 year old is already a better prospect than a top 5 AHL goalie who will get starts THIS year. Ok. And Ponomarev almost made Carolina last year but he's got a less than 40% chance of being an NHL player. Ok.
