His favorite hockey player is Shea Weber. Looks like he may be the type of prospect to grow into a similar player. hmmmm

The number 6 kid you have listed, (Zemgus Girgensons) is my Latvian "Grandson". He billeted with my son and my grandchildren. He's a great kid. He might have benefited more by playing in the OHL, but his Dad selected the USHL. I watched him play in the New England Hockey league two years ago, and he dominated. But, it was difficult to assess his abilities because the competition was pretty spotty.

I think he's a pistol. Not just because he's one of mine, but he shows an understanding of the game. He goes to the places on the ice where the puck will end up and he's able to find open spots. He hits and enjoys the contact.

The downside is that He hasn't played in a league such as the OHL. The plus is that whenever he's played in tournaments, he's done very well.

He has some connections to the Flyer organization. My son and John LeClair were teammates, and are friends. John has had lunches with "Z" and his Dad.

Probably won't happen, but Zemgus would make a very good Flyer.
