Hairy Kneel Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 "Zack attack is going to be a fan favorite. He can skate, shoot, score, hit and fight. 6'4 211lbs" I think that is still a little skinny, might just need to hit the gym this off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless dude has some crazy wheels, adding weight can potentially just slow him down. He's a good size imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but aren't we overloaded on featherweight playmakers? We need some pushback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some pushback We aren't at all, look at our roster. We have maybe a handful of undersized guys. Pettersson, motte and stetcher are our only smaller guys. Motte and stetcher can handle themselves. Roussel, goldobin and baertschi are all 5'11 but can handle themselves just fine. We don't have a tough team by any means but we aren't filled with tiny playmakers either. McEwen is a beast already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're close but need some more push back I like Mac but it wouldn't hurt him to put on another 20 lbs of muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed genuinely tired near the end of games and was barely playing. He probably will add some weight throughout his career. But he's likely not coming back from one summer with 20 lbs of muscle. Much of it would be fat more than likely. And could hurt his chances of making the team next year if he can't keep up in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More playmaker than grit guy. Adams was about the same weight class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle and weight will be gained as he ages. But he is close to NHL now and a good off season of training will really help him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure people understand how hard that is to do especially when you’re playing all season. Not only that, but that much more weight would slow him down a ton. He has some skill, he’s not just a plug. He’ll fill out in the next couple of years. I think 220 is more than enough for his style of play.

Look at Lucic who plays at 230, He can't keep up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Canuck season ended when Edler went down so I am hoping some of the Utica players get rotated thru the roster for some NHL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
