...does this kid have bones?

This made me literally LOL’d. I am picturing a human size slug holding a hockey stick!

 

[DopeyFish]

i think this could be a sleeper considering how unknown he is - when you're going that far off the board and he's underweight, the leafs must have really seen something

i need to see video of this kid

like is he potentially a kaberle?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Someone feed this kid.

Scouting report:

Weakness is his weakness.

 

[Smif]

The ol' Thommie Bergman special.

Is he still a scout of ours?

 

[JSn0w93]

We all know Bergman stuck his neck out for this kid. I've never heard of this kid before we picked him.

 

[BayStBullies]

Another wildly off the board pick

This guy was totally unranked, by pretty much... every one
Small, uninspiring stat line


Toronto's scouting team must have felt really strongly about this pick.

Oh no! How do they not know that these projections are guaranteed!?!?! Do their scouts not just read Bob McKenzie's list like all of the people here?!?

 

[Borschevsky]

I weigh that much but I'm 5'6" and I thought I was skinny

Nobody said that, buddy

[Warden of the North]

That weight has to be wrong.

There's no way. I'm 5'11 and when I was a runner I weighed 155 and looked a damn skeleton.

 

[KeziaTML]

We can see that he is slightly larger than most tween girls and we left a consensus BPA on the board to grab someone not on any professional scouting rankings

 

[JSn0w93]

Alex Wennberg is his cousin.

 

[Mess]

He is actually cousins with Alexander Wennberg

Bro

 

[LeafsStorm]

This might go down as a top ten worst pick
Wtf are we doing

 

[613Leafer]

C

I have a list of 995 players
Wasn't on my list...

Couldn't we use a later pick on him then? Seems odd to use our second highest pick on the guy.

 

[67Cup]

Needs to gain weight? Pfffft! I’ve always found it very easy to gain weight!
More seriously, with somebody with so little documentation, you wonder if that weight is up to date.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

A consensus BPA that didnt get picked until the 4th round? lmao I mean come on. There is no such thing at this point in the draft.

He looks like a rake in skates :/

 

[stickty111]

No idea and almost no info on him. We do well with Swedish picks so whatever I guess

 

[Magic Man]

6'1, 159lbs according to hockeydb. He has relatively high pims.

 

[DopeyFish]

This might go down as a top ten worst pick
Wtf are we doing

could also be a superstar

this feels like a very inspired pick and it might be a while to figure out why - but just taking a guy who could have been taken in the 7th at best but instead taken in the fourth makes me think the leafs *highly* valued him
