Bit of a late bloomer. His school does not play especially strong teams, so there is a lot of projecting as far as how he will play against tougher competition.
yep, played for both. is a potential top 31 pick, his size and skill is an intriguing combination that few are talking about right now.I thought for some reason he played in the USHL last year. Am I wrong about that?
Played last season at 190 pounds, but heard he is training hard this summer and is pushing 220 pounds.
I think he's actually flourished and has been noticed more playing away from his high school program.Reminds me a bit of the Chris Kreider 'big fish in a small pond' situation. I mean, Kreider dropped mainly because scouts wondered if the offense he showed would translate to the NHL because of the supposed weak high school conference he played in. Am I wrong in getting this feeling about this prospect? It's an honest question because it's not as if US high school hockey is easily available in the YUL.
Bad for the joints, I'm curious?Way too much weight to put on in that short amount of time.
Not only that, most of that will not be muscle in that short amount of time, he is also almost guaranteed to sacrifice speed.Bad for the joints, I'm curious?
I know of a 5'6" kid that went from 138 to 156 pounds and was even more of a rocket that next year and advanced to national camp from the same program. Even that didn't seem like too drastic of a weight gain for such a small frame and it's definately not buffet line weight in this program lol. How much weight gain is safe since last Septembers weigh ins last season?Not only that, most of that will not be muscle in that short amount of time, he is also almost guaranteed to sacrifice speed.

I don't get the sense you're comparing these players for any reason other than that they are tall Americans.Not a fan of the Bjugstad, Tufte type Meyer seems to be, doesn't even have good stats in the USHL.

Lazy post that shows you know nothing about him besides looking at stats. Your " thoughts" on weight are also complete nonsense.Not a fan of the Bjugstad, Tufte type Meyer seems to be, doesn't even have good stats in the USHL.
