Sigh Jeremy Roy flashbacksSeems like a steal at 132... Dan Boyle vibes, or maybe Sam Girard (a complementary offensive D, 2nd PP QB kind of player). Lots of folks thought he was a 2nd round guy, 1st late in a normal year.
Wasn’t he showing decent progression until derailed by knee injuries? Or am I thinking or a different prospect?Sigh Jeremy Roy flashbacks
Yup, that's him. Two ACL injuries and his speed was pretty much shot after that. He was looking like he could be an NHL regular.Wasn’t he showing decent progression until derailed by knee injuries? Or am I thinking or a different prospect?

I dont know but its hard to see him going anywhere else. Pretty small and young so would not be a good idea to give him to a mens league yet, and hes Canadian so unlikely to want to play in europe.Anyone know if Cagnoni's staying in Portland next season?
At least Roy's turning it around a bit, 31 points in 68 KHL games this season.
It'll be a red letter day when he does tho!I'm really impressed to see a defencemen do The Michigan, that is a move so far from a regular defencemen skillset. Not really sure he will get a chance to use that move in NHL as a defencemen.
Agreed, the game is going to be changing massively with the stick skills coming upHis execution on this move is by far the smoothest I've seen from anyone doing it. He does it at the speed of a wrap around. The fact that a defensemen can do this makes me think in 5-10 years we will be seeing multiple of these a week in the NHL. Kids are learning to do it younger and developing it way further than what it traditionally has been. If you can do this, there is no reason to do a wrap around which basically never goes in. The way to defend it is more pressure from your net front defense on the post, but that will likely leave slot forwards uncovered.
Good point, I was actually surprised he managed to do it in such a high speed. Hopefully we'll see a high flying new Sharks wave coming up! If everything goes well, we might have found our PP specialist, I think he will be so much fun to watch this year racking up some points. Hopefully Sharks manage to deploy him well in the future, there is something there.His execution on this move is by far the smoothest I've seen from anyone doing it.
