Hilarious was the fact that he was thought to be a center but then it turns out he's not comfortable in the position. Again, not his fault, but it's still funny how even high profile European players can be so poorly scouted. Sometimes I think that certain teams would be better off consulting Hfboards - at least there are people who watch these leagues there.

I would be very scared if consulting HFBoards gives us better expertise then our paid scouts in the best league outside of the NHL.
