It is impressive. But if he can't move, it's pretty worthless.....

Hockey news!

Was hoping for Drew O’Connor yet Penguins landed him.

 

[Thirty One]

I wonder if he can fight. Has anyone here been in a fight with him?

Looking at the kid's stats, we shouldn't be expecting major offensive production, regardless of the highlights.

Nice to have a 4th line prospect who has some skill, however.

Played three years at Western Michigan. Put up pretty decent numbers over that time. A player with that kind of size can't help being physical. If's he's proactively physical that will be even better. The real question is how well he moves on skates. If he's good on that--that's a bottom 6 forward anyway. You work on his all around game--get him on your penalty kill. Reach is a good thing for a penalty killer. That kind of size should be a playoff asset as well. Forward depth was an issue for us this year. Him and Gettinger some day on the same line.

Skinner should have been his teammate. LOL.

Getting ready for the playoffs!

6-foot-7, 230-pound. He's a big boy.

He also has some decent skill. Not sure he ever makes it out of the AHL, but it's a nice move.

I mean, NCAA offensive stats are not a good predictor of NHL production.

But yes, I would imagine they see him as having primarily bottom 6 potential.

Size can sometimes be an indicator of a late bloomer. It can also be indicative of a player who produced at a lower level just based on physical assets. We will see which is which pretty soon based on whether he makes the Pack starting lineup next season.

Who needs Quinton Byfield!!?

 

[nyr2k2]

He has been in camps with TOR, STL, and CBJ. So there has been a good deal of interest in him.

First thought was imagine this kid and Edstrom on the 4th line in 2-3 years. Big boys Lol.

But chances are slim that one or even both make it.
