Maybe he's gotta find his scoring touch over there and then come over to win in a more physical NA style. his experience here might help him succeed back across the pond. as long as he remembers how he played. I find he looks a little lost on the ice over here.

I have recently started to make a conscious effort NOT to read anything by Brennan or Garrioch. My life has become much better (less rage). I recommend everyone try the same.

Yah, that was my first thought as well.
I've been over to Finland and Sweden, it's nothing like Canada or NA other than the landscape.
They speak English in New Zealand... so, is New Zealand basically North America too?Big Ev wrote:NEELY wrote:tim1_2 wrote:Big Ev wrote:Sweden is basically North America, and he has family from the US.

You're forgetting the language. Almost every Swede knows English.

EDIT: Caps also did that with Carlson. Its not a bad idea even though you gotta burn year 1 of the ELC

Just because the team sucks and has no #2C doesn't mean they should stick him in.
It's not like the SEL is some bush league, didn't hurt Alfie to stay there til he was 24, nor Silfverberg nor any of the countless Swedish prospects who stayed in Sweden for a while.
Having him play in the WJC would be good too.
