Maybe we should try and get back Rodrigo Abols.  Big dude.  He was our 7th round pick in 2016...

 

Also, that picture tells me that Silovs is definitely not 6'4".  The guy beside him, Rodrigo Abols, is 6'4".  No way they are the same height, even with the goalie skate difference.  The other guy on the far left is 6'0" and is taller than Silovs.  With the goalie skate difference, I would say Silovs is 6'2" maximum...

Between the difference in height between skater and goalie skates, and the angle of Silovs legs I just think he looks shorter. I think he's far closer to 6'4 then 6'2.

His stance is wider because of his goalie pads, so his legs need to be farther apart but that would maybe account for an inch.  I'd say 6'3

I said it before, and I’ll probably say it a hundred times more lol, to me Silovs has the look of a consummate pro. His movements, his positioning, and his reflexes, all look to me like that of a special talent. I’m by no means a goalie coach or anything, but I played goalie all my life and from early on I’ve seen something special in Silovs. 
 

He doesn’t look to me like one of those guys that just got hot for a bit, like Martin in last year’s season, rather Silovs looks like he can have sustainable success. 
 

I think we’re all seeing now why Ian Clark was slamming the draft table demanding that we pick this guy :)

I hope Clarke is still with the organization when Koskenvuo becomes pro.  He's got the tools and talent o become another development success story.

I was wrong about Silovs. I thought one more year in Abby

You don't think he should? I do. I think he should back up some games, but play the majority in Abby. Kid just needs games played, to me doesn't matter where.
