I remember his dad or uncle (not sure which), who was an NFL RB for a few years. I always loved his last name. It just flowed off the tongue. Good player too.

If you had picked letters out of a hat, put them together and made this name, I would totally believe you.
Also, only 6 characters behind the longest NHL name (if you don't include the hyphen in Forsbacka-Karlsson)

That's certainly a name I wanna hear all the commentators pronounce. Maybe a Rey Mysterio fan.

Very good stat for young undrafter attacking D. Blues don’t have a strong attacking D, could be a good chance for him in the next 2-3 years.

Hey, he was on the Red Wings squad for Traverse City last year (the team that beat us)!

He’s a big dude who can score. Probably not NHL caliber but good depth for the T-Birds, at least.

This post sounded much, much better in my head, so I’ve spared the rest of you. Merry Christmas.
