Anyone know anything about this kid ?

Good article. I save my judgements for what he can do on the ice.

It might be just me, but this sounds like "22 year old playing against a bunch of 18-19 year olds".

Definitely something to that. Was one of the biggest guys there, but skates better than you'd think. Okay hands. Good hitter, capable fighter. Doesn't go looking for trouble, but will defend a teammate. As is the case with most guys his age, he has consistency issues. If he makes it as an NHLer, he figures to be a bottom 6 guy, maybe along the lines of a Mike Rupp.

Depending on the magnitude of your 'if', we could use a guy like that.

I'd like to see some footage of him skating. I looked on youtube and it was two pages of fights.

EDIT:



He looks more nimble on his skates than Tangradi.

Seems like a good bet to never get playing time. :pop:

Sounds like he can do Glass' job at half the cost.

Sounds like Glass can do his job with NHL experience. /trump

One? I'll take 3, thanks. Adams makes Rupp look like Sergei Fedorov by comparison.

Temper your expectations.

Sorry, the ball is already rolling on this. We have penciled him on our 4th line, replacing Adams or Glass. If he fails to score in his first two games, he immediately will be promoted to whipping boy. He will remain as whipping boy until he has been removed from our lineup - at that time, we will then blame Bylsma for not giving him a chance.

Payerl is the next great Luca Caputi!

You're not even trying anymore, Puck Drama. You are a shell of your former self.

I'll hold out for Trevor Lewis after next season. Let the poaching of LA begin!!!

I think you fully captured the Payerl experience.
