I don’t like the price but it’s fair. If we do it tho irl watch Ludwig be a 70 point guy

If Vancouver would go for it, I wouldn't mind giving them one of Suzadelev, Karabella, or Johnson instead, though I'd hate to lose Johnson. Having Chesley + Iorio makes me think he could be moved though

Seems good. Just tough to lose a chance to have another Brent Johnson on the team, especially with Brent Johnson the goalie doing analysis for NBC Sports Washington

More seriously though, he looks to be a pretty good under the radar prospect, he's looked decent from what I've seen from him at the University of North Dakota, but it would probably best for him to not be stuck being Chesley and Iorio (and possibly Hugo-Has if the Caps go stupid) in development. I think he'll get more chances in Vancouver being only behind Woo and Persson.
