Guelph isn't very good this year.....I expect Arliksson to be in Abbotsford by mid-March......but at 6'6" and 235, he'll be 'big' even by AHL standards.

Make that 2 goals on the evening for Vilmer Alriksson !!! Is there anything this kid can’t do

Jockey in a Kentucky Derby?

Well, he'd still be considered 'under-sized' as an NBA center.

In the interest of being fair to the player (as there was some criticism directed his way when he struggled with only 2 assists in his first 18 AHL games), it’s worth noting that Hunter Brzustewicz now has a 6 game point scoring streak going (7 points).

On Mynio:

On a phone call before the camp, the under-20 team’s new head scout, Al Murray, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and former director of scouting with both the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Los Angeles Kings, called him “the most improved player in junior hockey over the last two years.”

His Lightning, Murray said, “didn’t have him ranked anywhere near high enough” at the time.

Olivier Rioux - does he have an NBA future?

I’ll be damned, the kid isn’t from Sweden and they picked him anyway.
