Even then, unless we're talking a Tate Maris, Matt Hrynkiw or Nick Mattson type, our guys aren't going to overload themselves during the summer. Three classes max over the three summer sessions seems reasonable but above and beyond that...whooooa buddy. Expand are you kidding me with this response? every player that is drafted and every player that has a shot (who wasn't drafted) at the NHL goes to those things every year, they mean nothing. If he takes 15 credits a semester (which is not unreasonable for a SA) thats 30 credits a year and in 3 years he has 90. now if he averages 3 classes a summer thats 9 credits or possible 12, depending on how you look at it. its not unreasonable to think he graduated in 3 years. 1 Quote

Expand Watching him win battles against much bigger individuals is what I was referring to. Guys that have 40 pounds on him, and three or four inches. Quote

And big men (who can skate) are always valued, including at D. Reach means a lot. Stecher is on the small side of D men in the NHL Quote

Popular Post bigskyvikes Posted December 15, 2016 Popular Post Posted December 15, 2016 So awesome to see a big-time player in the program joke about some of the foolish Hak comments over the years! Including ones in a rabid fan base like Philly! I love it! 6 Quote
