Imagine him filling out his frame. Kid has the potential to be something special.
Let's see how Frk does without Drouin or MacKinnon in the lineup:

Jokerit had kind of a team skills competition today and Pulkkinen won the hardest shot part. 161 km/h which is pretty much exactly 100 mph. Not too shabby.
Why is no one talking about Alan Quine? Guy has good size (6ft, 181 - little light) has been over a ppg the past two seasons, supposed to be good in both zones and has above average speed. Is this guy just flying under the radar because his name isn't european, or are there real issues?
Here's an article on DeKeyser and another NCAA free agent whom the Wings seem to be interested in signing.
Dan DeKeyser: "To date, DeKeyser has played in 33 games, posting 15 points (two goals, 13 assists). He logs nearly 30 minutes of ice time per game playing alongside senior Luke Witkowski (TBL) as part of one of the nation’s most dominant defensive pairings."
Andrej Sustr: "While his gigantic frame is certainly one attribute that NHL teams like about Sustr, what has impressed them even more is how effectively he uses it. Sustr takes full advantage of his size, strength and wingspan in moving opposing players off pucks and taking away their time and space."

I hear andreas athanasiou's name quite a bit, but it doesn't seem like there is a lot of hype around him. He seems to be dominating right now. Does anybody have any insight on this kid? Is he one of our better prospects?
A 6'8 physical defenseman is Babcock's dream.

From what I've heard of Dekeyser he could actually play in the NHL next season. The wings need stay at home guys and hes got the size for the NHL already. Is he much of a hitter?
Sustr sounds awesome too. If they could land both of them I would be pumped but I highly doubt that will happen. 6'8 physical guy paired with Ericcson would be ****** for forwards
Babcock would be in heaven
sooooooo muchhhhhhhhhh thicknessssssssssss

All I want to know about Andrej Sustr is can he skate? Is he closer to Hal Gill or Tyler Myers? Size is nice but you can't just be a pylon.
