Bill Arnold is a great two way player who reminds me a lot of Stoll. He can chip in offensively and even play with top end talent, but he always takes care of business in his own zone first. Bill's game has a very high chance of translating to the NHL and he is a born leader that players both respect and follow. As sureLoss also pointed out in another thread, he has the potential to be a face off specialist as he dominated that category in NCAA.
JG to me is a top 6 or bust, BA has a greater chance of sticking based on the fact that his style of play can be adapted up and down the roster.

I like the Stoll reference. Would be very happy with that. He's listed as about Stoll's size, too (6'1" 213 for Stoll (which seems generous) vs. 6'0 210 for Arnold).

“Yeah, the Flames are going to have their corporate jet pick them up tonight right after (The 34th annual Hobey Baker Award ceremony) and fly them out to Vancouver and they’re going to play on Sunday,’’ said York as he prepared to head for the Hobey Baker Award announcement.

Truculent!

I am utterly shocked that he signed with the Flames.
Seriously though, some people were extremely embarrassing in this thread.

Why? I thought it was rather entertaining. I think you need to relax my friend.

Do you put Gaudreau with Monny and Colborne? Or do you put a different RW on the line with Gaudreau and Arnold? I don't think you separate Monny and Colborne, but I think it'd be better if Johnny and Bill went with different line mates. Maybe McGrattan with Arnold would be a good third line with Bouma on the LW.
