You're stuck with that name for a year.

I wish someone just changed his name to The Knights Choke

Interesting that Sharks are allowing fans to welcome draftees this year.

If only we had Deboer to save me, he would never let melker get shafted

Since he is a Sharks fan too .. maybe he should go with 'Discount Double Choke'

Is it just me or does this guy seem really thin? I know he’s tall (6’4”) but he’s also under 190 pounds. Maybe I’m just fat cause he’s 5 inches taller than me and the same weight.

That is a bit light, but nothing crazy for someone that age, he has plenty of room to fill out that frame though.

For reference Jumbo is 6'4 220, so Coe probably needs to add about 15-20lbs at minimum. Nothing too crazy, and he's definitely not stick figure at that height/weight

With a draft load of smurfs we brought in a Gargamel

I don't recall but what was Jumbo's weight at the '97 draft? I found it on Youtube. 197 lbs.

Sounds about right, so roughly 10lbs difference, nothing too crazy for teens who are still growing into their bodies.

More info on Coe for you.

I had him as the 15th ranked OHL player this year.

That was tough reading. To put it out there. That’s brave.

Hope this guy makes it. Already declaring him my new favorite player if he does. Amazing to be able to get that level of maturity, perspective, and just overall writing ability for something of that magnitude at 18 years old. Think we got us a good one and best of wishes to Brandon's father/family.

 

[HldMyBeer]

I like that he's a big guy who doesn't have to learn how to skate.
And that he's apparently got a mean streak.
I can live with that for a bottom six skater.


Any chance he's a project to convert to D?

any highlights of his mean streak? everything I have read has him more at a Mike Rathje level of mean

I haven't seen anything yet.
I just saw scouting reports saying he plays with an edge.
Not sure if that's just because he was on a bad team and the scouts saw him yell at/motivate teammates or something.

Edit:
Or it might be from For Dad | by Brandon Coe
that he can be very focused.

that player's tribune article is real touching.

I honestly think of all the guys we drafted, Coe has the potential to be a really exciting player for us. Size/skill. He just has to put it all together and be great on a consistent basis.
