And again, what I like about him more than anything, this is always an issue with European players you have to pay attention to, is he is very comfortable playing on the inside of the ice.

And you have to do that in the NHL if you're going to be successful.

Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (5/28/26)

And given that he's 6'4", and the fact he likes to play on the inside of the ice, I think there's a real chance he could actually have a very positive impact on an NHL team.

He...

Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (5/28/26)

The struggle with him, this is something I don't do a great job explaining, but he's kind of a one-speed player.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (5/28/26)

He's not a slow player.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (5/28/26)

He's not a fast player.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (5/28/26)

He's kind of a one-speed player, and he doesn't have that ability to adjust speeds, change speeds, to change his attack on defenders.

So they can just kind of

Hockey Blogger Bruce Curlock (5/28/26)

You know, they can kind of time his pace towards them, and he doesn't really have an ability to offset that timing.
