I’m just saying that I’m not going to get overly excited over a small sample size on a PTO for a guy who played with a top 10 prospect in juniors as an undrafted overager

They signed him to an ELC, which would kick in on July 1st, and then additionally, signed an ATO/PTO with the Hartford Wolf Pack to be eligible to play before his ELC starts. This is common practice.
No need to apologize

Of course, that makes sense. The way you phrased your original comment, it read to me like they gave him a PTO and then subsequently signed him to an ELC based on his late year audition.They signed him to an ELC, which would kick in on July 1st, and then additionally, signed an ATO/PTO with the Hartford Wolf Pack to be eligible to play before his ELC starts.

Isn’t it fun to be having these debates with our 25-30th best prospect?

I'm just happy we can have substantial hockey debates in July.

If it's tied @The Crypto Guy should flip a f***ing coin. I hate tiebreakers when we're almost at the end.

Yea we aren’t doing tie breakers this close to the end, i’ll make sure it’s not tied somehowIf it's tied @The Crypto Guy should flip a ****ing coin. I hate tiebreakers when we're almost at the end.
He's physical and skates pretty well. That's about it, for me. As a result he got a lot of burn with the Swiss U18 and U20 teams, which I think added some helium to his balloon.
His defending in the OHL is average, he takes a lot of bad penalties, and his offensive game is nonexistent. He was expected to be a big player in the OHL and he bombed his first season, though he did have to fight through a case of mono. Last season started off pretty well for him, but then he just kind of stagnated. Took some really stupid penalties in the playoffs, as well. I watched most of his WJC games and he just looked like any other player.
He was once thought of as a guy that would be picked within the top sixty, but it just hasn't come together for him. I don't care for him, but I guess it's not unreasonable to have him here.

Yeah, and that's fine, but as I said, it's because he's Swiss. If he were Swedish or Russian or Canadian or whatever, he'd likely play in none.
The Swiss program is improving, but they still have a dearth of bona fide NHL prospects to pull for these tournaments.
