Vs: Blake Kessel
Pienen scouttauksen jälkeen löytyi tämmöistä:
"Blake Kessel can skate but won't ever be an NHL player. There's more to hockey then just skating."
"Blake Kessel: Didn't even realize he was playing last night until the last 5 minutes."
"Good skater, good size, and brother of Phil Kessel."
"He's a project really, he is like a mini version of Gardiner, a forward who was converted into a defensemen."
"I'm VERY surprised he hasn't hooked on yet with anyone. The games I watched him play showed a VERY solid player. Maybe his salary request is too much."
"I love what he brings to the ice, his shot from the point is outstanding, and he's got good speed. "
Osa noista on siltä ajalta kun pelasi vielä yliopistossa draftin jälkeen mutta pari ylimmäistä ovat parilta viime vuodelta. Eli hyvä luistelija ja omaa hyvän laukauksen.
