Lowry always raved about him, and stated Kanzig was the fastest Royal.
Lateral movement needs work. First step could be better too for sure. Top speed? Ridiculous - but not that practical. Still shows that this kid is a pretty special athlete, however, and apparently his character is impressive. He is still a reach to make the NHL, but I think anyone is foolish to write him off. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the NHL in 2-4 years.

I'm not concerned about Kanzig's mobility. To me whether he makes the NHL depends 95% on the development of his puck-skills. Two-three years from now the Engelland Archtype will be a relic of the past.
