I have high hopes for Klimchuk.

Over the last two days we have heard.
  • He is lethal at finishing chances
  • Is able to handle every pass
  • Is good at getting to/generating rebounds
  • Plays a strong 200ft North/South game
He feels like the perfect guy that you want to pair with talented players.


Kind of shows in his international play too. Second on the team in points to only Sam Reinhart in points when they played together at the U-17s. Second on the team in points when he played with McDavid/Bennett at the U-18s.
He's always been touted as that kind of player. Ferraro on his draft day said he had a bit of Steve Larmer in him, that's a massive compliment. Not a flashy player but knows how to get the job done consistently.

If Klimchuk can put together a full healthy season the sky is the limit for him. Only thing holding him back IMO is his Backlund esque level of injury problems.
