Rick Blight Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Columbus European scouts must really like this guy. He has continuously played in the Swiss League since the 2009/10 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Canes should've held out for the 2021 7th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never actually seen him play but going from career stats I would have to give the edge to Sven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather have a 2022 late pick than a 2021 one. It’s going to be really hard to scout this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'm interested in seeing how this one pans out. It looks like a very random move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Cheap if he can only sign an ELC. Chicago had some success with bringing in established pros from the Swiss league with Kubalik and this season Pius Suter, younger but 28 is not over the hill. Some prospects have also lost considerable development time with the pandemic and might mot be ready to make the jump while they might see Hoffman able to step right in. Buys time for their prospects to catchup on lost development. Columbus has also given up quite a few picks when they tried to make a run their final season with Panarin. They have to bring in players by other ways. Not always easy to attract free agents in certain markets without overpaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder if Columbus can lure him over. They've got a couple of Swiss players on the roster already (Dean Kukan, Elvis Merzlikins) and have a pretty international roster with the likes of Alex Texier (France), Patrik Laine (Finland), as well as the NHL's only European born GM. I wouldn't sleep on him, he profiles like a Swiss Nikita Gusev from what I've read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
