For sure pretty worrying. Taking risks on fallers isn’t always going to work out though

For Pens fans:

AHL body only moved to satisfy contracts. Don't expect anything despite the higher draft pedigree.

 

[Michael Farkas]

He's a puck pusher even at the ECHL level. He'll play in WBS because that's a barren wasteland, but only as a big hitter. He can knock guys off their skates from surprising positions, I'll give him that.

Never understood why this guy was taken in the 2nd round. Late birthday with shitty 17 year old season production and then just ok 18 year old season production. If you wanna take this type in the 4th or 5th round, then fine. 2nd, no thanks.

Sharks fans never understood either.

Sharks fans never understood either.

Devils fans said the same thing about Michael McLeod and Zach Bastian. Until they became the players they eventually became.

McLeod was a point per game OHLer in his 17 year old season. Nathan Bastian was definitely an underwhelming producer in the O, but was a much higher tier prospect than Hamaliuk ever was.

He flew out of the gates in the 18-19 season for Seattle and put up 15 points in 7 games before he slowed down and then got hurt and missed most of the season.

Guessing SJ had some scouts at those games and liked the upside of a 6'4 guy that could have a run like that and had a bit of grit to his game as well.

Just eight AHL games - though he was a point per game scorer in the ECHL - in his first season with the Penguins.
