[Raider Believer]

unreal. So we get a 17 year old Euro.... thats great. But what do we need the 2 1st round picks in the Euro draft for?

trying to stay positive. This could be a very decent deal for us in the long term if the Euro develops, however, in the short term, we're trading Svendson for Wells in terms of ice time. I don't see Hlinka taking Svendson's spot in the lineup.
Does Bourhis move back to cover Button's spot.

hlinka has pretty good skills decent speed good hands nice shot good size 6-2 185 but like most 1st year euros takes time to adapt to whl . tends to dangle with puck & ends up getting checked.
