That's true. But as long as he's mobile enough to get to the areas where he can do damage, it's bearable. It's not like Alex DeBrincat is a speedster either, but that's just not his game. Speed is the most overrated ability there is. I didn't say speed. I said skating. DeBrincat may not be a speedster, but he is a fantastic skater. Extremely strong on his skates, great edgework, extremely agile and shifty. Edjsell is just not a very good skater. By any definition. If he can improve his skating, he has all the other tools to be a good NHL player. If 'Double-Runner' Brouwer could play, what, 8 years? Edjie can do it.

Ed's Gell is gonna be a bust. Unless you have a team of guys who can get him the puck.

Except he wont have Kane and Panarin to make him look like more than a 3rd line C

A 3C is still an important piece of a hockey team.

Sounds like it will be feast or famine for Edjsell he will either be "The Edge" or "Mr. Ed"

Just call him Edsel because he's probably going to fail.

Edjsell is one of the few Hawk prospects that I think is ready for the NHL.

I actually agree with you, Ted. I'm not as concerned about his wheels as there is still a place in the league for slower guys willing to go to the net.

His skating is the question mark. Speed is the most overrated ability there is. Holy fuck. and, no. If you cant skate well, you no longer can play in this league.

Defensman are faster too. This is why he cant escape them, or carry the mail very often. He can however get himself into good areas. His hockey IQ is great.
