He did have a gorgeous pass to Wheeler for a preseason goal.

But you want to talk about JAG...

 

[Barnaby]

AHL player. He shouldn't be on an NHL roster.

 

[Mobiandi]

3 straight first rounders…

Yup

Gregg Mckegg lol. That guy should should be on a checking line in the ECHL.

Nah, he was definitely trying to put that puck on net. His horrible shot ended up being a beautiful pass.

Yes, god tier level lap skater.

I say that from watching him skate laps.

He cleared?!?

Well, that’s good news for 31 franchises because your GM isn’t an idiot.

This is the definition of like an ECHL/AHL tweeter. When I was his age, this was the kind of guy who was better than me but I could competently keep up with and at least hang with during summer college skates (which were all the D1 and juniors guys from the area getting together). I feel like I played a lot of summers with guys like this on LI, 12-15 years ago. Like, this is the guy who is beer league A division MVP, but ECHL third line. Fundamentally he can skate and mix it up with good players, but he really doesn’t have it. He can probably carve out a career as a bottom six guy in Swiss or DEL.

Whats crazy to me is how many chances he got in the NHL between two of the league's better teams.

I'm glad Henderson dedicated so much ice time to developing him and Rondbjerg.

Crazy, yes, unpredictable, no. Kids of former pro players usually get additional chances because of their lineage, if nothing else because some farty old-school scout knew their dad or knew of their dad. "Give him enough minutes and he'll be ready! He's got winner DNA."

Which is Exhibit A as to why most scouts are worthless dinosaurs and a chicken picking at post-it notes of prospect names can be just as effective for a much smaller salary.
