last 4 games for the Spurs, 4 losses, Fink has gathered just 1+1 in those games.
Is still 5 points over ppg and leads his team in goals, assists, points
and 3rd in penalty minutes.

next game today (or tomorrow, depending of your location)

I have a very slight dyslexia, you rush to comment negative stuff before knowing a thing about that person guy.
no worries mate

Penn State (The state University of Pennsylvania) has their nickname of “The Nittany Lions”.

Not sure where the spurs thing came from

If you want to know more about US Collegiate sports just know the South Eastern Conference runs shit in everything but hockey. I suggest you become a University of Georgia Bulldogs fan

And yet couldn't play for Canada's WJC team. Who does the evaluation?
Lots of draft status politics goes into it. You’ll see former top 10 picks make it twice when they don’t play particularly well in juniors after their draft and then they bust in the pro ranks.

Just curious what the general consensus on him is. I liked his game, what are the chances he carves out an NHL career?

currently 2nd in NCAA scoring with 7 pts in 3 games

On the plus side, assisted in both goals in a 3-2 loss to Quinnipiac today.

But only other games the Nittany Lions played were a pair of games against Alaska.

Should at least wait until the Big10 schedule starts before trying to evaluate him and the team.

I saw Fink yesterday. He clearly has some skill but professional projection seems somewhat unlikely. He has a good shot but clearly struggles with the overall physicality of the game. I was expecting to see a bit more physical development in a player that is turning 20 next week, but he lacks strength. Despite his point totals, he is not a player that can really take over shifts.

He obviously has good offensive ability, but if he ever plays in the NHL, it will take several years of development. Don’t get me wrong, there are way worse players you could’ve taken at 218th overall. However, it seems more likely that he’ll be a good AHL player with his current play style. He doesn’t strike me as a guy who is good enough for the top 6 and he doesn’t play in a way that would fit into the bottom 6.
