McTavish is one helluva player.

 

[CH1]

yeah that's the kind of guy you hope to land with the #3 pick

 

[GEEMAN]

Super stud , fucken horse with the right mix of skill , grit and goal scoring ability

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

You certainly have a type

black men?

 

[Krustchev]

Struble doesn't worry about jumping into the play.

His issues at Northeastern were often poorly timed "jumping into the play(s)" but he's fast . . . and has way more upside than Harris.

 

[Sal_Butera]

black men?

As Duke Snyder used to say on Expos broadcasts: “team needs players w hair on their balls”

that is from an era where people didn't groom

 

[lecoqsportif]

Guhle’s approach to integrating in the NHL is a good template for Struble. i.e. pay special attention to picking your spots for big hits and joining the rush. We’re seeing the pay off this year, including a beauty goal against the Ducks.

 

[CH1]

Struble is built like a tank but the knock on him has always been his decision making. That’s a big deal for a D-man

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah. If can’t overcome that, then he’s not an NHLer. But maybe the quality of the opponent forces a correction? I dunno.

 

[CH1]

It’s always stopped him from being considered a Grade A prospect

We’ll see if Habs can rewire him

His decision making looked just fine last night.

 

[Krustchev]

On the flip side, how many d-men prospects do you really need?

Thats the difference between keeping your NHL job or an AHL salary

Thats Guhle`s strength .....defensive positioning and gap control

 

[CH1]

25!

To ensure that six of them turn out better than Tinordi and Beaulieu

Best comparison I heard is that Struble is like Francis Boullion but bigger

That would be nice

Great to maybe finally have a top 6 with no D slugs

I want as many d-men, forwards and goalies prospects as possible.
