Default Morgan 'Fricken' Klimchuk



Looked around and couldn't find a thread for Morgan so I decided to make one.

His stats thus far in the WHL season.

12GP 6G 12A 18PTS 2PIM +3

I think Morgan is a very talented young player who doesnt really get the recognition he should albeit in a deep prospect pool with a lot of promising LWers. I think he and Poirier are very similar in their potential upside, I can see Klimchuk being a solid 2nd line scoring winger. He will lilkely be a PP specialist. I have seen him play 5 times now for Regina, only once in person but I really dont think this kid is any risk of being a bust. He is very assertive and confident for a player his age and has a natural snipers release plus some very good stick handling and good skating. My biggest curiousity is if he could play RW, that would really help the Flames positionally in their prospect pool. I think its possible and will depend on if he finds the shooting/passing angles useful or is too accustomed to the LW position.

Really dissapointed not to see him play in the preseason but I did watch him at the rookie camp and he managed to score one iirc. Him and agostino stood out to me in that scrimmage.

Anyhow I hope the kid continues to develop and comes back next year pushing hard for a roster spot!
