Realistically, JG is a highly skilled forward who is both shifty and creative. He has an incredibly high hockey IQ with that rare 3 dimensional vision. His head is constantly on a swivel and he is very strong on his skates. To top it all of he has a home grown attitude and loves to give credit to everyone else but himself.

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).

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.

How frickin exciting is this for everyone involved? the fact that Johnny gets to share the experience with his friend and line-mate is even more cool.

edit: They better have a camera guy covering this whole ordeal.
