So Grzelcyk...The scouting report seems to indicate a Krug type defence man that can actually hit the net. Sound about right?
Having seen him several times, I can say he does have the offensive acumen of a Torey Krug. But Kruger is more physical, and, it appears, less injury prone.So Grzelcyk...The scouting report seems to indicate a Krug type defence man that can actually hit the net. Sound about right?
yup...
He can motor assuming his knees are are ok.
He's pretty small too. I'd have to check but Krug may have an inch or so on him.
His bio says 5' 10'....but I aint buying that.

I really like Krug, just been a frustrating year goal wise for him, and he seems to get so many opportunities.
How many teams have the wealth of young talent in their backyard that the Bruins' have? The talent coming through the NCAA now is great, and with BU, BC, NU and Harvard pumping out great players, I hope the Bruins can continue to capitalize in the future.
Does this kick in for 16-17?
