Muscles are good to have, and even better if they know how to use them. On the other hand the trend seem to be speed at the moment, the focus is more on doing things in high speed than with strenght and weight. As examples of that rumours tell that Sasha Barkov lost over 10lbs during the summer to get faster, because the game is getting faster, and he is better than ever now. On the other hand, he was and still is a big guy.

But someone still needs to get in front of the net and have the ability to stay there also...

Barkov is elite.

Been meaning to post this for over a week now re: Strbak. This is from Tony Gasparini, GM of Strbak's USHL team. Notably, Gasparini was a longtime scout in the LA Kings organization. (From The Athletic).

“His biggest strength is competitiveness and willingness to engage himself in the game physically and defensively. He moves quite well,” Gasparini said. “And I do think there’s a secondary offensive element to his game because he does shoot it so well. He’s a very direct and assertive offensive player. He wants pucks to the net. But the primary of his game is going to be a shutdown, very hard and physical leader type defenseman with some secondary offence.”

@LGR4GM does this fit the description of what you hoped Muel to be?

Great.  Another guy who's *not* going to fix the power play.

LOL,  when judging future talent, you guys are good!  You know who will make it, how good they will be, and how many Stanley Cups they will win...Can you suggest to me specific numbers for my lottery ticket tonight?
