TheRussianRocket. Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Jordan scored 51 points this season and was +22 at 18 years old - Gaunce scored 60 and was +10. I could care less that he's undersized - he's already the size of some very successful NHL defensemen - and he has years to grow and develop. Enstrom is 180lb, Brodin is 166 lbs, Karlsson is 175...Weaver is his size, and a shutdown guy, Timmonen is his height and about the size he'll likely be in a year or two... Like Shinkaruk, a great choice that would have gone much higher were people not as obsessed with size. Exactly this, +1. Jordon is a hell of a player and despite being small - whatever that means... - he knows how to get on the scoresheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 PK can hit. Can Jordan? The only person perhaps good enough to play in the NHL whose hip check could be low enough to ACL little Ratface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.Tallhouse Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm just hoping Jordan knows how to shut his mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Cool. You never know these days who could pan out, it's all about how hard he works from here on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 What is he supposed to say? "Yeah Jordan kind of blows you guys messed up hard"? Ya no kidding.... On TSN live in front of national audience and his other brother Malcolm.... "He sucks, is a shrimp and I always kicked his ass, what was Gillis thinking? He will never be as good as me" Reminds me of Paul Kariya's little brother all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm just hoping Jordan knows how to shut his mouth He was named to the OHL's all scholastic team (http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/article/ohl-academic-players-of-the-year) so at least if he opens his mouth he'll have a lot more to say than Tom Sestito, for example.

Super_Canuck Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Jordan's too small to be a regular NHL d-man. I'm sure he's skilled but how effective will he be at stopping big forwards coming down the wing? I think if he was the same size as PK, he would've been a much higher pick.

Junkyard Dog Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 He's young and still capable of growing, same with Horvat and Shinkaruk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 He's young and still capable of growing, same with Horvat and Shinkaruk. Ppl already starting to knock Shinkaruk's size.... How big is Claude Giroux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Take this with a grain of salt. It's simply an older brother talking up his sibling. If he stays 5.9, he won't be making an impact in the NHL. Sorry to break it to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I heard Tanev was around 5"3 when he was 18 then grew like a foot after. He must've took growth hormones. by that logic, Jordan will be 6'10. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJamIam Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Reminds me of Ayrton Senna saying how talent Bruno was. Just a relative saying nice things. However Jordan has got skills and clearly his family has some special pedigree lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Jordan has got skills and clearly his family has some special pedigree lol Ya, but have you seen this kids moves, or his fights? The only comparason we could watch of Bruno was of him Karting, and he was still in F1, which, even as a back marker makes him a very very good race car driver. Last I seen, he was driving in the LeMans series?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 everyone, get excited for this kid....his name is fedor federov Pretty sure Sergi never said Fedor was more talented than him. If he did Fedors tires must have a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
