ok. there is a few things he did when he first got here, like signing Hickey, that i think were bad moves, but i still have faith that he can at least be an average GM.
I think lou has been smart, and theres barely any impulsive spending also on players they don't really need as well. thats why lou has done wellok. there is a few things he did when he first got here, like signing Hickey, that i think were bad moves, but i still have faith that he can at least be an average GM.
maybe years of Snow have made me too tolerant, but i am happy as a pig in shit, that we have him.
Also holmstrom has a nice ripper and has very smart puck moving. He didnt get a goal in the juniors but he made some very good assists for team sweden with guys like gunler. I won't be shocked if he makes the isles roster out of camp next season if the opportunity arises and he keeps working on his two way game. Remember, this has been a org that waits at least a few more years for these kids to mature, and holmstrom is gonna work in bridgeport first in this shortened season.
Well I do feel thankful to have seen the world juniors this year, he does make good plays as well when not scoring. I think him, raymond and soderblom (both DRW prospects) looked the most mature on team sweden as well, so hopefully holmstrom keeps growing as a player. My one thing I want to see him do is get in the greasy area's like lee does, because those players are a very good kind to have on any lineup. He's still just 19
hence why i said 19, but that comes with age and experience. I still want to learn how to be a better scout anywaysThat would definitely be a good element to add to his game, but let's wait a bit until he has filled out a little more and found his man strength first?
I think Michel Anderson (Eyes on isles contributor) has been covering this story on Dufour, but this is a very good pick late in round 5 (iirc), and this kid was a projected 2nd rounder last year. I hope he is a steal, but the Q's talent is various in the way it goes. And this kid also isn't scoring garbage goals as you said, he's been doing dirty work and scoring shorties also. For us, this is important in a winger starved team
i'm pretty high on him too. we could use another big, banging, scoring winger.
Shame, but he's rather young and that is year 1 in college for him. Decent first season for him also, but I really don't have much trust in our track record with college kids sadly.
not good from what i've seen from bridgeport. 0 points also. i think he's kraken bait
still 4 points (2G, 2A) through 7 games, but a -5. I wouldn't put much thought into that +/- anyways for this team cos they stink. bridgeports next game also got PPD so we can't see him in action again. I think he'll be fine anyways
From the tape i've seen so far, yeah he should be fine, and I did like the goals he scored as well because they did look like goal scorers goals to me. His off the puck play has also been fine, and I did see that a lot in the world juniors where he often did battle for pucks. To also correct myself, he had 5 assists, not 4 for team sweden
that is sadly true. place just kills every forward somehow
You think im shocked at that? I know they suck at developing our forwards too
