Great first game, he and Gauthier were the teams best players tonight.

The two highlight moments were nice, other than that I really didn't notice Leonard all that much. Still a decent game for the freshman.

This guy just wins. Looking for highlights of his board play and hits but its all just playmaking, high roller puck possession and goal scoring highlights

Excited to have a grinder with high end stick skills. Looks like the boy can skate.

Is he a 200 foot player? Play on the PK?

Im f***ing excited

Looked good last night. Smith was invisible.

Smith was invisible.

First game in college hockey against a really good team, let's take a breather

Just my impression of his play for the game, invisible.

 

[Dr Jablonski PhD]

Can echo that .. Leonard and Gauthier were the ones who stood out

I must’ve missed the part where he made grand statements about what this game meant for the future of these prospects.

Wow he was absolutely buzzing

Wow he was absolutely buzzing

He's been everything as advertised. An absolute buzz saw, tons of energy, always willing to go in the dirty areas. He made a mental error against Denver hopping on this ice leading to a too many men penalty but other than that he's been great. The more he gets used to the college game, the better he's been

 

[sigx15]

An absolute missile from Leonard, served up on a platter for him to tee off on...

Leonard is a wonderful prospect.

I hate that he's a Cap. Does so many great things in the OZ off the puck that are going to translate seamlessly at the next level plus the ability to launch those piss rockets.

Leonard is going to be a unique player in the NHL.

 

[William H Bonney]

Leonard just took a cheap slash to the back of the knee and left the game. Isn't back yet.

Thought they said he was back on the bench but Vote is up on that line

Indeed. Does he remind you of anybody though somewhat? usually power forwards are bigger and taller I think right?

Leonard goal machine with *checks notes* one more goal on the season than Smith.

Yeah usually taller but Leonard plays pretty big. Sort of reminds me of a more talented Coyle but maybe its the uniform.

 

[William H Bonney]

Good news as he's back out there for the start of the 3rd

Morrow. Highend potential upside being Landeskog or Iginla. There's a reason I ranked him 6 in the deepest draft I've ever followed, and easily ahead of the other USNDT guys.

I think Iginla is his absolute top and a decent pull. Not sure he has the true meanness to fulfill that but everything else is there.

Exactly. Upside being potential Morrow/Brown. Highend potential upside, Landeskog/Iginla. Notice something in common with all four guys besides being very hard to play against... they all wore a C. Obviously his downside is being a grinder or potentially an outright bust. But he is very likely to play, and imo likely to ascend towards the higher end of his upside. I love this type of player.
