Who's the forechecker with anger management issues in this draft? 

Hmm... idk yet. Stenberg and Belchetz forecheck well but I don't think either is the type of physical you're talking about.

Casey Mutryn, 6'3" RW is probably the most aggressive checking player with skill in this class.

The combined IQ of our owner, GM and scouts?

Sabres will draft top 10 again. I'll call my shot now. 

Not good enough.   We need top 3

Stenberg is on track to have the best SHL draft year this century. Daniel Sedin managed to put up 21g, 21a, for 42pts in 50games way back in 1998. No one has done anything like that since. If you look at ppg, only Nylander 20pts in 21 SHL games is close to Stenberg who has 22pts in 23games. If Stenberg were to maintain this pace and put up 49pts in 52 SHL games, he would be atop the 17 or 18yr old SHL player list by 7 more pts than Sedin and 10 more pts than #2 Naslund. 

What I am saying is that what Ivar Stenberg is currently doing as an 18yr old in the SHL is unprecedented. One more note, is that Stenberg plays for Frolunda, which is Dahlin's SHL team and he would have practiced with them last month. Also Stenberg currently leads Frolunda in points. That's pretty crazy that an 18yr old prospect leads an SHL team in points. Before you ask, defensively Stenberg is good, really good.

Stinkberg for Stenberg?

Or would that be the Penguins motto? Stinkburgh for Stenbergh?
