Read this this morning.. like the sounds of it.. sure sounds like an IMPACT EURO to me.. wondering if Eurochl has any idea who this kid might be? I'd ask Billy but his Rocket information seems rather poor to be generous ;D
Tuesday, June 28, 2005 Rocket to draft winger By Charles Reid, The Guardian Mum’s the word when trying to get details about P.E.I. Rocket president Serge Savard Jr.’s pick in Wednesday’s Canadian Hockey League 2005 import draft.
“I can’t say,” Savard said in a telephone interview. “If there’s a leak or anything then another team that doesn’t have access to make those deals might take him before us.”
The Rocket pick 14th in the first round and 72nd in the second. Under Hockey Canada rules each of the 56 teams in the CHL is allowed two imports on the roster.

50 goals is a pretty bold statement for a guy to step in right away and do that on a fairly weak PEI team. must be a pretty high profile guy... *cough*frolik*cough* would he last till 14th pick? he's the only winger i could see scoring 50 right away in the Q, and even then he's 17 (i think). that'd be tough. i thought kopitar for a minute but he's not a winger. if it is frolik i would be VERY surprised that PEI could talk him away from europe AND the OHL AND the Dub to play on the island. i'm very curious now...

Heard "Killer" convinced Frolik to head there.
Ottawa.

i agree the 50 goal comment is rather assinine... would be great if it's true but i don't expect it.. just expecting this kid to be a very talented player that will give us two scoring impact Euros and allow us to be very competitive in our division

yeah, 50 goal scorers are rare enough, add to that the fact he'll be a rookie playing a different north american style game, it just seems very far fetched. don't get me wrong, some players make the adjustment alot better than others, but if I were the PEI rocket, if i got a top two line forward that could put up even 30 goals, i'd be more than happy.
in any case an upgrade from korpinen can't hurt.
