F Martin Reway (2013, 116th, MTL)

[sharks9]

Another tiny player to be productive at the junior levels. I doubt he becomes a significant NHLer.

Just like Gallagher eh?

 

[overlords]

lol.. its a game vs Germany. Talk to me next week.

And slovakia is a powerhouse?

 

[NEWFowler]

Just like Gallagher eh?

For every Gallagher, there are many many kids who don't make it because of their height. Its a legitimate concern.

I'm a huge Reway fan, but he has an uphill battle ahead of him. I hope he makes it.

I know it's an uphill battle, but dismissing him out right just because he's small is just dumb because we've seen players like Gallagher overcome the odds and become effective players at the NHL level.

Reway is almost a Drouin level talent, just a notch below like about one inch less in height..

 

[Nicko999]

2 more goals vs the US.

Now 3 goals, 6 pts in 2 games. Still top scorer of the WJC.

On purely raw talent, possibly. But Drouin is much more well rounded at this stage of his career.

 

[hogtownhabsfan*]

Reway out Drouining Drouin halfway through Canada vs Slovakia so far.

What a steal.

 

[Riggins]

Reway out Drouining Drouin halfway through Canada vs Slovakia so far.

What a steal.

Now just put him in the body of Eric Lindros in his prime and we're good.

Seriously though, if he bulks up and improves his speed he can play on a scoring line for the Habs in the future. That's no easy task so he's the definition of a boom or bust prospect.

 

[samsquanch9*]

9 pts in 2 and a half games lol

 

[herashak]

nothing more than a pp specialist

 

[chaosrevolver]

lol.. its a game vs Germany. Talk to me next week.

Ready to talk?

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

I like the Claude Giroux lite comparison. Both great hockey iq, skating isn't a strength nor weakness,shifty,good vision, sneaky release.

 

[Theodore450]

reminds me of the kaner himself

 

[Nicko999]

His vision is nuts... his cross ice passing is Markov-lite.

 

[S E P H]

I am THAT confident in him. He'll probably finish the tournament as a top 3 scorer.

That would shut up folks comparing him to Locke.

You might have been on with something!

He is just so smart with the puck, Datsyuk-lite.

 

[VanNistelrooy]

He is just so smart with the puck, Datsyuk-lite.

Except that Datsyuk is good defensively.

 

[samsquanch9*]

If he hits his top potential he could become a little bit worse patrick kane

 

[Chara-3]

Except that Datsyuk is good defensively.

Was he back in 1998? I guess he wasn't, otherwise he would make his NHL debut before the age of 23. Reway is still 18.

Reway is often mentioned along with Hossa. It's just popular comparision and I do not believe he will be such two-way force like Hossa once. He will never have body to play physical style on the other hand is great in takeaways. Really good.

IMO he is more often compared to Palffy. Very skilled player, offensive dynamo. Hossa is more 2-way oriented. But i saw also by Reway some good defensive moves on this tournaments. In the future he could polish this skills and he will be great player.

 

[Loffer]

After all the praise (by me) - I still think that while hes not "Locke" he should focus on improving hes skating.

 

[begbeee]

I see him as the most offensively gifted slovak prospect and by that I mean everyone from Koys to Tatar.

 

[Loffer]

Let's see can he lead the Slovaks to a win against the Czechs...

Tough to do it on your own. Dano has been MIA.
