After seeing him in person, even among peers (or especially among peers), I think he is simply not physically ready for the NHL.

 

This is wonderful news.

It should be for the pro-tank, and the anti-early-career-ending-injury crowds.

Both indeed. The kid has the skills and the work ethic it appears. All he needs to work on is his chronological age and growth.

 

The CHL is as fine a place as any to experience the earth's revolution around the sun.

He has almost three full months to get ready physically. That's a ton of time if he's in a pro strength training program.

I'm going to have to plead the 5th on that :w00t:

He weighs over 190... Do you want him to be 230?

He isn't the type of player who needs to weigh over 200 lbs to play well.

[BuffaloBorn]

at 6'1 I'd like to see him at at least 190-195 pounds

 

I want to see him get his tryout...will be interesting to see him in pre-season

Excellent. Now he just needs to learn how to play on it.

Didn't read the whole thread and don't have an opinion yet.

 

Props to Physics for The Clash musical interlude.

This is a decision and question that will be decided 9 games into the season. If it's decided before that we should all be concerned.
