dlbalr Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 37 minutes ago, DON said: With his release and shots on that Hat trick Ikonen had this summer and moving to a lesser league, I had hoped to hear Ikonen would have consistent and solid production. Really early of course but hope he can start burying a few. You don't hold any real hope for Pezzetta do you? other than maybe AHLer eh? To be fair, the SM-liiga isn't exactly a low-level league - it's Finland's top league. It's still a much higher level of competition than the Swedish J18 and J20 levels he was at last season. I didn't mind the Pezzetta pick last year as I thought his offence would come around but he had a terrible year instead. His physical prowess is something the Habs don't have much of in the system so maybe that gets him a look but no, I don't have high hopes at this point. I think he needs to get to that point-per-game mark to have any sort of shot at being signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This seems to be a growing trend for the Habs, non-local prospects who wind up staying in Montreal for the summer (Scherbak, McCarron, and McNiven come to mind as others who have done so lately).
