I agree with you DS as I've seen him a ton as well through his Bantam/Midget years. He's always had the size, but never the strength which I think this year we will start to see more so with the Canes. Nash is a hard nosed forward who will go into the dirty areas which can work. Stringer is an outside player who gets knocked off the puck often. I won't ever question his work ethic because I believe that he does work. But I would like to see the Canes make him get stronger before putting him into these situations so young.
