If ASP was here today, he would already be our best skater. As in how he skates.

Larkin exists.

Larkin exists.

Not talking about just speed here. ASP's lateral movement and agility is a joy to watch.

His skating looks a good bit better than I thought it was pre-draft. Also looks more dynamic with the puck too. Pretty encouraged by him overall.

I just think Larkin is still a pretty special skater and in the top 5 or so % in the league.

He plays like a young Filip Hronek. It's a joy to watch.

Not nearly enough giveaways. And his facial hair doesn’t incite my rage.l the same way Hronek’s did.

Let’s hope ASP turns out to be more like the younger version of Hronek than the >7M version (0+2 this far)

Can Quinn Hughes play effectively on the smaller ice?

For, me it looks like ASP does not need any extra width in size rink, when he goes just through the middle of the ice to score.

I see your point but not sure I get the Quinn Hughes reference. He played in NA his whole life.

The real question is centered around his ability to walk the line using stutter steps and fakes before attacking. If you visualize what the size of a standard rink is, while watching the highlights., he seems to be off the ice and using more space than ge would have in NA.

I hope for and want him to be the best player Steve drafted. I was and still am super excited about the pick. Love his game, just a bit cautious because we have seen young players, such as nills lundqvist, light up the SHL and not have their game translate.

He will be even better in NA. His fast thinking and hockey IQ will help

I hope you are right, he’s a stud so far

Pellikka currently in Finland at U20 practise tournament.

Scored 1+1 against Czechs at Sweden 5-4 (ot) win.

Goal was on power-play, had also team-high 7 shots on goal. Could not find any ice-times from the data, but Pellikka was slotted on the 1st defensive pair.

Hey, Hronek played his best Wings hockey with that awesome facial hair he had. Shaved it off and then regressed.
