[Speculation] Steve Moses to the NHL?

KHL-Jokerit star Steve Moses is going to be a free-agent after this season. There has been lots of speculation in Finnish media especially (http://www.iltasanomat.fi/khl/art-1424362465108.html) about him being NHL bound. Steve is a good goalscorer, broke KHL season record for goals scored this season. Excellent skater, good shot, nice hands. Only downside is size.
Which teams would suit him and who would you like to see him play with?

Going out on a limb and predict he makes little to no impact in the NHL. Men who hit people for a living play in this league, and there aren't endless expanses of ice to hide from them.

Cue the "But look at Johnny self proclaimed hockey" crowd now....

And you're saying they were wrong about johnny hockey?

Some players can avoid getting hit, others can't

Johnny's numbers in NCAA (only real comparison b/t the two) are FAR superior, he's on a different level than this biblical miniature.

Do I think he'll make the NHL next year? Yeah...

Do I think he'll be a Canuck next year? No... Although, he'd be an interesting option to bolster secondary scoring, though he's a little too small for my liking. He's also demanding a one way contract, meaning he wants a roster spot, which I'd rather give to a young guy who's been in the Canucks system for a few years over him...

Chances are, he'll end up in either Columbus, Buffalo, Arizona, or Edmonton next season. Most likely one of the bottom feeding teams of this season, since they can actually take a chance on him compared to other clubs.

After Brunnstrom and Brunner, my hopes aren't high.

Maybe "Brun"s are faulty in NA :P

As for Gaudreau, he's having a great year, but it's about maintaining it over a career. I think next year will be a bigger determining variable than this year.

Although a lot of what I just said could apply to other rookies, I feel it's even more important for Gaudreau, especially injury-wise.
