He’ll be a full time Amerk right? If so, I hope he does well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Undersized? Check. Left shot? Check. Played College hockey? Check. Winger? Check. Add him to the pile! Botterill even found a way to get his obligatory "forward group" mention in. Edited March 23, 2020 by Thorny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Sheary and Lawrence Pilut might not have even played at all back then, but even in today’s game their size holds them back. There are guys who play small and guys who are small but don't play that way. Marchand is 5'9" 180, but he doesn't seem that way on the ice. Erod is 5'11 184 and plays smaller. I don't know enough about Dawson to label him one way or another. Kahun is 5'11 175 and certainly didn't look small or play small. Right now, the more the merrier. Bring them on Jbot and see who sticks. Last I looked the Amerks have 12 RFAs/UFAs. Guys like Wilson, Leier, Elie, Oglevie plus 4 D. Who knows, we might just find a player or two.

I swear, people and height don't mix well. Though looking back, apparently Michael Peca was 5'11". I always thought he was small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hair at the time might have gave him a few more inches. I’ll see if I can find the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only theory I can come up with as to why every player is listed 2-3" taller than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
