What powerplay is Boldy on?

He's been on Boston's second unit, I think.

[BuiumSaveUs]

This is starting to get out of hand. Guy has like 3 OT winners already this year

 

[AKL]

That Alex Khovanov guy is so hot right now

He can’t skate

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

He can’t skate

Neither can Koivu.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Neither can Koivu.

I know I was just echoing what everyone says about khovanov in a joking manner

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I know I was just echoing what everyone says about khovanov in a joking manner

I honestly didn't know that was something that everyone said.

 

[AKL]

I honestly didn't know that was something that everyone said.

His two biggest knocks over the past couple years were that he can't skate and he's too selfish

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

That was the big critique in him and a big reason why he wasn’t a first rounder

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Man, we could really use a couple of 3rd/4th/5th round hits right now.

From his draft year:
Flying a bit under the radar because the Q import was sidelined with Hepatitis C until almost January. Played slow and looked out of place during increased playoff pace. That might hurt his chances of wooing a team's scouting staff into taking him early. Takes needless penalties and didn't show much commitment, coming in out of shape. Initially looked like he might be a first rounder.

Who is Bill Placzek?

Who is Bill Placzek?

Another pretender.

Another pretender.

Which of the "experts" aren't pretenders? He does reviews for draftsite.com I've seen his review/name on elite prospects for some players.

If any of the “experts” we read weren’t pretenders, they’d work for a team

Missing half his draft year season with hepatitis had a big impact on his game that year. Yes, skating was a ding on him in the some of the draft reports, but the ones I've just reread wondered if it was because of missing so much time and not a flaw in his game.

He was a wild card for the "experts" in ranking where he'd be picked. Anywhere from the late 1st to mid 3rd was the range they had him in.

Yeah I remember that too. The hope was that he’d get up to speed with a full season and he has.
