He’s always been significantly bigger than everyone, even as a youngster. Even hit puberty before basically everyone. Really smart player, athleticism would be the biggest question mark. As someone else said…seeing him play Junior may be important.
Thoreson is a high ender for sure, I wasn’t doubting that for a second. And when it’s all said and done, he absolutely could be the top 09 dman. But as of today, it’s Diego. That’s fairly known actually. Again, things can change (and they do ).
All in all, im glad we got a high ender that’s local!
Like the highest ceiling or highest in his draft year? Diego Gutierrez is widely considered the top 09 dman. But, they are in two different draft classes.
There’s two other dmen on Fargo with more pts. And again, pts aren’t everything with dmen. But he’s fairly undersized, there’s no rush with anything. Wouldn’t be a terrible decision whatsoever. Depends on who we lose I suppose. As others noted, Strathmann could bolt potentially. Hope not.
Lindberg could be pushed back a year tbh. Probably even should. Good player, but he could continue to get that offensive flair back. Come in more ready with a bigger role.
Well when you frame it like that…as of today…sure he towards the top. 10s have a ways to go, but to your point he’s a day or 2 away from being a 10. Time will tell. But great get for us nonetheless. Andy Schneider’s nephew
