I love seeing prospects play their way on to the team. Can anyone give a little more insight on him? From the preseason reports, he seems to be a speedster with some scoring ability. Excited to see him play.

The thing that stuck out to me during the preseason is that he plays with speed UNTIL the whistle, which I think a lot of our players lack. Similarly, he seems to really never give up on a pick battle, and that’s another thing we need. His speed is VERY impressive. Saw him beat an icing call that 90% of players wouldn’t have caught up to in one. He really has a great hustle. Excited to see him play some season games- I think his potential is high.
Awesome, thanks for the information. Can’t wait to see him suit up.
Literally the first player above 5'9" that we've called up in a while
How tall is he?
6' 1"
Erne, maybe? We love our small, skillful players with a chip on their shoulders.
I think he will fit in nicely with Gourde, Ceddy, or Cally. You know, the guys that are just tenacious on the puck and never give up on a play. Should make a crack at a checking line.
Would love to see him with Gourde.
Im from saint john NB, He was a beast on the Saint John Seadogs (QMJHL) he was my fav player in the league. Ive been hoping for this ever since he was drafted by Tampa. I think he has the potential to be a great breakout like point was.
If he has half the impact that Point did last year, I’d be happy.
We was ridiculous during the world juniors a couple years ago. I think he led the team in points that year. The Canadian team that year was stacked with Bolts prospects.
Man, everyone has me stoked on this kid.
I take that back. He had 5 points in the 7 games. That team did have a lot of Bolts prospects though (Joseph, Raddysh, Cirelli, Stephens, and Ingram). Joseph scored the Canada goal that put them up 4-2 in the Gold medal game against the US. I remember the breakaway vividly. It was so nice. The US ended up winning that game in the shootout though. Canada took silver.
I'm curious what line he'd be on. New kid makes me think 4th but a "Never say die" line of MJ-Point-Gourde sounds perfect to me
He's really fucking good in NHL 19 if that helps you at all...
All I need to know.
Did he crack the line up?
Had a great preseason and was named to the squad. Should get some solid PT. Hope he has a break out year like Point.
Oh yeah he's good maybe not point good but honestly who isn't point good on the bolts ya know?!
