6'6'' 203lbs LHS

The way he uses his large body to shield the puck and then uses his long reach to stick handle... man he can dipsy doodle in the offensive zone and make nice passes.

If he can do that in the NHL and not be a liability in his own zone, boy howdy.

We had The Incredible PULKkinen 18th in our last rankings for what it's worth...
(ok, maybe incredible is a strong word...)
