JeremyCuddles Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hard to take this seriously as PK is Jordan's brother. But if his hooblah is true...yay. He's young so we won't know for 2-3 years anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 http://m.insidetoron...couver-canucks/ Another steal by the Canucks in this years draft; real proud of them for nailing this draft. I have to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 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?? Brings back sad memories when I hear Senna's name, Ayrton and Gilles my favorite drivers ever..both gone.

TheRussianRocket. Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 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. True to some extent, but I disagree that he won't have an impact if he stays 5'9" which he likely won't. For a defender, height is key for defending . It essentially marks you down as a shutdown guy, a 50-50 guy, or a pylon. Subban is a 50-50 guy with what I've seen if him. He's more of an offensive dman due to his height restriction and due to that, he has the potential to make impact by doing what he does best and that is getting on the scoresheet. Some of the best dmen in the game today are small and comes to show Jordan can get it done too. Karlsson is 6 feet 175 lbs. Letang 6 feet 195 lbs. Voynov 6 feet 190 lbs. Dan Boyle 5'11" 190 lbs. Torey Krug 5'9" 180 lbs. Mark Streit 5'11" 190 lbs....the list goes on and on. What I'm trying to get at is his frame won't determine if he'll make an impact or not cause as of now, they way he makes his impact is by scoring and play average-good D as much as he can do his disadvantage and as long as he uses his pros (scoring) to his advantage, he will be able to make an impact.

higgyfan Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Jordan is a far better player than PK was at the same age. He skates like the wind and can rack up the points. He may or may not grow a couple of inches, but it doesn't matter. He will be an NHL player. http://thehockeywriters.com/welcome-to-subban-land/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 ^ tell me about it. Jordan notched up friggen 51 points in 60 or so games in the OHL this last season; tell me that's not effective lol, and he grows some more too, it'll only be a positive.

higgyfan Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 ^ That's right. With both his brothers over 6' there's a good chance he will grow a couple of inches which would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 For a fourth rounder he is not expected to make it to the show but he has everything going for him,save some weight/strength and an inch or two.His shot,skating skills and playmaking abilities are already on display.The kid will even throw the mitts. As for PK pumping his tires I think it is admirable but it is easier to be heard and does lend credibility to your siblings and the public when you have many millions of dollars and a Norris sitting in your parents living room.
