Why was Swaggy P a bust ?

[AintLifeGrand]

Peter Lenes ? Yall have seent him on instagram with the silky mitts and dank dangles.

He is undoubtedly a #shortking but this hasnt stopped Nathan Gerbe or Theo fleury or even yung Rocco grimaldi from making the show .

So how did a guy so skilled who is viral not even get drafted??

 

[HanSolo]

Prospects board is thataway.

Also who?

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

What's with all the wacky threads lately? Lol

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

He got them dang dangles, but when it comes to hittin bars? Hit stickin, stick liftin, down low in the cycle? Homie couldn’t hang.

..I don’t know what we’re talking about.

 

[Canes]

Uhh this was the original swaggy P, and he still might not be a bust just yet

The answer is right there in your screenshot. Being good at fancy stickhandling moves and trick shots doesn’t equate to being a good professional hockey player

I've never followed him but judging by his stats in the ECHL, it's because he was not very good.

 

[McDNicks17]

You're asking why a guy who was 5'4'' that couldn't even score in the NCAA wasn't drafted?

 

[AintLifeGrand]

well like what about his game had garnered such mid results from a statistical perspective

 

[Jacob]

I know guys that washed out of the SPHL that can dangle like that by themselves or on a shooter tutor.

 

[93LEAFS]

Save this content for late-July/early-August. This is a peak off-season thread.

 

[Docgonzo]

Because he liked jam bands.

When did Nick Young play in the NHL?
Last I saw he was winning a chip with the Golden State Warriors.

 

[LokiDog]

Because dangling with no actual defenders on the ice while your friends throw some soccer balls and traffic cones at you doesn’t make you an NHL player. Vision? Anticipation? Reading plays? Cycle? Anything that matters? Take away Patrick Kane or Johnny Gaudreau’s IQ, vision, positioning, anticipation, etc. but let him keep just his hands and he’s probably not in the NHL either. And Lenes is smaller than both. Love watching his content, but I’ve always thought this answer was fairly self explanatory. There’s flash and there’s fundamentals - which one is more important in the NHL? The sizzle or the substance?

He went to the NHL Player Factory University of Vermont though.

He was like St Louis there, just a couple inches shorter and 173 less points.

What if he can also do The Michigan?

'Tective man says Swaggy P stabbed someone down the lane
A licky boom-boom down

 

[biturbo19]

I don't even know to whom this is referring exactly...

But gimmicky stickhandling is one of the absolute least useful skills a player can have in an actual game of hockey.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Give the guy credit, he managed to get a thread on HFBoards.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Give the guy credit, he managed to get a thread on HFBoards.

It's probably his account that started the thread.

I've never heard of the player op is talking about and I'm still kind of confused.

 

[Oddbob]

Some nobody that virtually none of us have heard of gets a nickname like Swaggy P?

 

[Player big P]

I wish for nothing but failure for anyone who goes by "Swaggy P"
