RW Nick Capone - UConn, NCAA (2020, 157th, TBL)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Power-forward with excellent size that delivers punishing hits and can also score a little. He’s a borderline reckless player. He’s been suspended a few times this season. This is exactly the type of player teams want though, so I think he’ll get drafted. He played this season with Tri-City Storm in the USHL and will play next season at UConn. He’s a late 2001 born player.

Welcome to Tampa!

Tampa went from the tiniest team in the league two years ago and Washington roughed them up big time when they decided to get physical. Tiniest to 6th heaviest this year and shortest to upper half in the league this year. All 4 semifinal teams were HUGE this year and the two previous Cup champions were also huge (Top 3 in combined size) when they won, but got smaller after winning.
The last decade tells us that being among the biggest OR being lucky enough to have generational talent (or a couple players close) is needed to win championships. An amazingly planned swing in only 2 years!

Scarface? Would make a great hockey nickname.
