Right, that was covered too.
He can do both. On his own terms. It’s an undeniable part of his game but it doesn’t need to be its most prominent.
Arber’s list of comparables is growing by the week.
There are probably tons of hidden gems that go unnoticed. Xhekaj found his niche. Was lucky enough to get spotted and begin a career in hockey. Just because he keeps hitting bodies and throwing punches, it doesn't mean he's the next McDavid. I think fans in Montreal need to chill a bit.
Why is it dumb it’s my opinion. I’ve never been impressed with LaCraque’s fighting style. I would welcome a prime LaCraque VS JackEye discussion.
I'd go with enhanced Chiarot also. Souray was a below average defensive player. He was all power and presence, but he couldn't really defend. Not saying Chiarot was a star defensive D, but he could be counted on more then Souray. I hope JackEye can eventually match Chiarot's D play and mobility.
I think this is a good comparable; the enhanced being a better fighter and better offensive skills
It's not too late to edit or delete your post.
Man,you'd have hated living in the 60's 70's and 80's I bet,if you know what I mean.lol
I am not a fan of Beregvin and his minions but finding this kid, signing him was a great accomplishment.
Every other team found many gems in the past decade, we are so starved that when ever we get a player we are in shock. Bergevin didn’t accomplish anything, he did a bunch of random things with no plan and some of it worked. We are like a victim who is in the Stockholm syndrome affect. We deserve JackEye and many more for the torture we suffered under bargain bin.
If he remains a bottom pairing D, that is fine in my books. That's his upside, that's it.
Funny because I remember him avoiding fights here.. What are you basing that off of? What’s he gonna do hold and grab his way through the fight?
I’m with you on this. BGL was a nuclear deterrent in the arms race. He and Chara set the standard for super heavyweights. Our boy X, in todays NHL, is everything you want….big, strong & nasty but with a transition game. He’s coachable, got a good first pass, skates well, has offence in his game and lots of room for improvement. I’d like to keep him away from some of veteran tuff guys, if only to keep his confidence rising. Plus we need him in the lineup. The hardest thing for a card carrying tuff guy to do is stay away from a challenge, lol.
Doesn’t matter. Goons don’t exist in the game anymore anyways.
