PK Subban used to do it, and did it far more times successfully than times he got his pocket picked. So no, the fact that this can't be done in the NHL just isn't true. If you are talented enough, you can pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree with Don that in the NHL Norlinder will have to adapt to the quality of competition (overall bigger, faster, more talented) but I'll also agree with Commandant that it can be done ... from what we've seen I'll go further and say that Norlinder has the skills to be able to do it ... ***NOT*** saying he will be Hughes or Makar ... but he seems to have the skillset to be very effective puck-mover in the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me just say i will believe in, or have more faith in both Romanov and Norlinder hype only once they actually prove it in the NHL reg season.

Skating is that reason. Hes basically the same player as Chinakov though, who columbus took in the first round for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I worry about what Poehling will bring ... the supposed "word" was that the reason he didn't play at all in the tournament was that he didn't show up to Tournament TC in shape ... hopefully he realizes the challenge before him to make the team at any point in 20/21and does all he can to prepare (barring injuries, trades, etc.). And for that is said about Primeau he seems a bit farther down the list than I would expect ... he is at least a year, perhaps two from getting a chance at the NHL but he supposedly has tons of potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
