Do my eyes deceive me? A center? Are we allowed to have those?
PPG in the AHL is no joke. Not bad for a 6th round, 174 overall pick.
God I hope they reward this kid with a look soon, maybe it doesn’t translate but damn for a team desperate for some finish and centers he seems to fit the bill perfect
I consistently really like what I see from Conroy when he talks to the press. We know he’s got the confidence to pull the trigger on bigger decisions but he also seems to lack a lot of the ego that you can sometimes see in the GM position. Seems like a great temperament.
>“You know, that would be one of my do-overs,” Conroy said with a sigh. “He has a confidence in him and he was in that third group and he was like, ‘I’m gonna show you guys.’ And I give him credit, he’s done it. That’s what you want guys to do, so I’m happy for him.”
Real ones knew from the start he was nasty
I remember my buddy was telling me about him 4 years ago and thought he had a lot of upside and I just said I have no idea who that is. Now his eyes have been on Harry mews so I guess that’s the next stud in waiting
He turned into a 1st line centre on one of my nhl franchise sims a couple years ago. I didn’t even know who he was then.
This is just one of those kids that have a special talent of knowing when and how to get to the net and score. Reminds me of a more agile, and speedier version of Monahan
I remember watching this kid over the past 2 prospect scrimmages over the last 2 summers and he was always a standout to me. I hope he does well.
We have some pretty good up and comers including the ones currently on the roster….. I’m excited for our future honestly, who cares if we just barely now the playoffs this year, I consider that a success as we were projected to be bottom five. Also great to see guys like Huby and Kadri playing near their best again.
