One game every 7 weeks. He'd fit in well with the Isles this year.
Was thinking the same thing. Probably is not getting the Offensive mins with Salo in this year. Based on his rookie year, where he looked like the best Isles prospect in BP to me, I watched a handful of games. This is a let down. Still he is a big lanky guy, and a wily ol GM once said, you give more time to big lanky guys to fill out and to get their coordination.
It's why I beg that we hit on Rajaniemi or Liukas or Malinen. We need those guys to be big parts of this team in some way. Given how Tampa pulls out a Ruuta or Katchouk or Palat out of their asses, when are we finding that talent?
To be fair, I don't think any one of them projects to more than fringe NHLers at best. They may well get signed but it's long way from there to making it on the Island. You need some special qualities to make it as a late round pick, and I'm not sure if they have that. The good thing is that they seem to be doing fairly well in a grown men's league in Finland, so transition to Bridgeport should be easier.
To me, I think that if they at the very least get to the AHL, that is a start. Then we can hope they help the farm team, because Bridgeport desperately needs to stop being awful
Not sure what you mean exactly, but if Dufour becomes a high end 3rd liner who gets close to 20 goals a year while playing a physical style, I'd do a jig. If he turns out better than that, then great. But for a 5th round pick (give or take), a better-scoring Clutterbuck would be a great outcome.
it would most likely be good given the way the NHL is shifting. we can only hope that Dufour can be a good prospect anyways
And I thought you were being sarcastic comparing yourself to Clutter. Guess I misread that one.
Raty just seems to be a very skilled swiss army knife guy the more I think about it. For the isles, that's extremely good to know
