mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Sounds good to me. I think his perimeter play is more of a system thing than anything. Some of the Swedish/Finnish players have trouble adapting away from that system. A coach in the A would have to get on him all the time to go to the net, not the perimeter. It all starts with it being emphasized and the player has to exaggerate it until it's habit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato AK Verified Member Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Quote The big knock on Ihs-Wozniak is that opponents can shut him down with minimal effort when he’s not asserting himself. He tends to play games on the outside instead of using his size and skill to get to the net and contribute in the dirty areas. Hopefully, he will grow out of that habit as he develops into an NHL player. He is a Swede...he most likely will not grow out of that habit. If he were a Finn, maybe, but Sweden is not known for producing power forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalptrash Verified Member Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Billy might trade a 1st for him when he’s 34. Who am I kidding, Billy won’t be here after this coming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true. I will give ya that. They’re usually Canadian, American or Russian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Verified Member Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 He might be a power forward in 4/5 years. Thats not going to help us anytime soon. 🔜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
