Tearloch7 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 There's an amazing new site called "Google". It lets you learn about things on the internet. Here, let me get you started. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxiebrown Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Here's a bit more in-depth scouting report: Kellan Lain, Center, Vancouver Canucks (Lake Superior): Lain is an older than usual Junior, a 23 year old who turns 24 in July. His main asset is his physical game, at 6′6′’ 222 not only is he tall and strong but tough as well. He’s a big center who can win battles and make opposing defensemen aware of his presence on the ice. He also skates at a decent level for a man his size. Lain doesn’t have a whole lot of offensive upside, notching 39 points over 108 NCAA games, but he does have some defensive value and I think he can stay at center at the pro level. He actually led Lake Superior in face off % this season, winning 56% of his 571 draws. That’s not a great sample, but it is nevertheless intriguing. (link) Sounds like a potentially useful 4th liner.

bossram Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Future 4th liner if he pans out. I hope Gillis is able to sign Dekeysr or Laganiere. Unlikely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Coming up to play in the Wolves, staying in college, or getting a free shot at the 4th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Good signing. obviously I have no insight into his game other than the same articles you all read but you have to think he's got serious potential if he was that highly sought after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
