His skull is so big, the equipment manager can't even find a helmet that fit's it.

Appearance wise when I see him I can’t shake the feeling that it’s Claude if he overdid it on steroids.

Missed the game, but caught the fight. He did an excellent job of feeding Wood some nice uppercuts

I think that he can greatly expand his game, a la his father. Not saying that he will be a player who achieves what Claude did, but his son has plenty of room to grow.

His endurance. Seriously.....if you iso watch him his endurance is trash. He needs to lose some muscle mass me thinks....he's so big and strong it looks like it's affecting his endurance big time.
It will come as he plays more time in games. Playing 5 minutes in Winnipeg did nothing for his game-endurance.

Muscle mass will improve endurance lol. It's his conditioning that sucks because he barely played in Winnipeg.

Muscle mass improves endurance? Have you seen marathon runners? Do they all look like big huge muscle guys or lean thin and wiry?
Come on man.

It’s not black and white. Boxing and karate require enormous endurance, yet the build of a karateka differs enormously from that of a professional boxer. You can build a LOT of muscle and endurance from proper weight training. Think battle ropes and slams, for example.

Of course you need some muscle mass it's obvious but a guy like lemieux is clearly too big for his frame to take reasonable shift length and give it his all. There's diminishing returns after a while. He needs to get leaner.

He’s 6”1 and 210lbs. Hossa was 6”1 and 205lbs. Keith Tkachuk was 6”2 and over 230lbs. The guy just needs to focus more on his cardio.

So does Eric Lindros. And Mark Messier. And Bill Guerrin.

And Keith Tkachuk and Pavel Bure and Sidney Crosby (just realized he’s 200lbs).

Likely just needs more reps and to condition himself over an offseason expecting to play big minutes. Might lose a little extra weight and also just cater his training to a different style of play. Id imagine you don't train the same to play 5 minutes a night and fight than you do play middle 6 minutes and put up points.

Prentiss laughs at Peloton.
Peloton is for the masses. Expect Prentiss to put him on Ivan Drago-type training machinery.

His neck is almost non-existent. He looks like an absolute truck on skates
