Why is an Oilers fan perusing this thread on our board, of all threads?
As for the hit, I don’t think it was that bad. A collision between too players with a very bad end-result, but nothing malicious there. Certainly isn’t worse than Sourdif’s hit (and wasn’t really a hit so much as it was a tackle, though) on Savoie.
I tend to agree that his chances of playing on the Jets one day are slim. Interesting to note that his production in Juniors was better than Ben Chairot in their draft years. Just like Benny you drop a player like this in the ECHL AHL for 4 or 5 seasons and see what happens.
Yeah, I think the best we can realistically hope for out of him is he becomes an everyday AHLer. But his draft position makes it no biggie and there’s no harm in signing him and seeing if he develops at the pro level.
