Wow imagine if he was a goalie. All he needs to do is just stand there and pucks would bounce off. More effective than Skinner lol

Most of his torso would be wasted (ie. above the crossbar) if he stood. He'd have to be in the butterfly at all times.

I think Ben Bishop 6'6". Is he the tallest goalie? Anthony Stolarz also 6'6"

I think a 7' goalie would be crazy on the breakaway or in the shootout with the ridiculous poke check range. Shut down all dekes

So...just to be clear, he's 7'0 tall 'off skates' correct? That'd put him at what, 7'2 or 7'3 on skates?

Just get his stick-work going and nobody is getting around that guy.

And he's only 17, could very well grow another inch or so. Nevermind he'll end up around or over 300lbs when he fills out.

If I'm that kid I would move Hell and Earth to hire Chara as a personal Coach.
