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. |
I'd have to agree they sound like a great fit together. Only issue is I believe Klimchuk and Gaudreau can both only play LW. I seem to recall something about Klimchuk spending some time on the RW last season, but I can't say for sure.
Regardless, it would be amazing if Klimchuk could become our #2 LW. He's great defensively and it sounds like his offensive abilities are starting to catch up with his high hockey IQ. Might be one of those versatile players who can play multiple roles and develop chemistry up and down the lineup.
