I can fix her.

<insert joke about 5-hole, shooting, etc>

Ahem. Weak glove hand but likes to stick handle when she shouldn’t.

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere but Hallander won the SHL best forward.

Also, McG skating with the US goalie camp.

Oh great, he's already bust and is switching over to goaltender.

I like to think hes undercover as a scout looking for our next wave of goalies to be blocked by Jarrys contract.

Is Big Melv eliible for WJC next season? Hopefully puts up 30 points next season and then can look at getting him over to WBS.

I think he would be eligible. He doesn't turn 20 until February.

I love it when they call me Big Melvin
Throw your hands in the air, if youse a 3rd line Playa

Actually getting him in the deal for Petts was a great move by Dubas. He looks the part of a RW with size and shot to be a top 6 caliber player down the road.

RW with size

Huh, I didn't realize that. He's about the same build as McGroarty.

 

[HandshakeLine]

"For an 18 year old, he has nearly 10 points."

 

[HandshakeLine]

I get where this is going but holy hell, everything in that Dubas quote screams "I got this player for YOU, Mike Sullivan!" Here's hoping Melvin doesn't limit himself for oursakes.

Mike Sullivan mentioned for no reason…

That's me CLC. Anyhow, I'm glad you all think a guy whom the organization clearly pegs as a bottom 6 guy is top line material.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Can't imagine why anyone else would think that about a player who "is a lower in the lineup guy" who knows "how to adapt when they are lower in the lineup" and "has elements when they are not scoring".

The quote is obviously saying that he has shown he is capable of being an effective bottom six player in the men’s league not that they are pinning him as a guy who has bottom six upside.
