Je n’ai pas vu ceci posté, alors j’ai pensé que je le mettrais ici. De manière hilarante, j’ai réussi à voir ce gamin jouer en direct contre l’ASU cette saison. Évidemment, je n’avais aucune raison de me concentrer sur lui sur/hors de la rondelle comme je l’ai fait avec NoDak et Reschny/Wiebe.
Mais l’enfant s’est démarqué. Il a un haut niveau de compétition, un excellent homme de mise en jeu et carrément dangereux en désavantage numérique, marquant deux buts en désavantage numérique lors des matchs du week-end à la Mullet Arena de Tempe.
Il est un centre de tir droit et pourrait très facilement devenir un spécialiste PK/centre des 6 derniers de la LNH.
C’est aussi un enfant de la région et il y avait un énorme contingent d’amis et de famille de Calgary.

It’s always good to make these signings because they occasionally work out, but they mostly end up as AHL players or marginal NHL players.
Odds of becoming an NHL player: Low
Risk? Nothing
Good move.
Pronmon, from the Athletic, has Gross ranked as the #2 free agent from college/Europe.
« Gross took significant steps forward this season, becoming a top player in the NCHC. His pure tools will excite teams: He’s big, fast and skilled. His game has a lot of pace and energy, and he’s fairly competitive too. Despite the offensive progression he’s shown, I have minor questions about his hockey IQ and how many plays he’ll make at the next level, but he has a legit chance to play in the league. »
Being big, fast and skilled he will likely get a lot of chances to play. He will have to prove he can’t.
« Another note: his Dad, Kevin Gross, is the Vice President, Partnerships and Sales of the Calgary Flames. »
I think that is a very important sentence in the article.
Don’t know anything about him, but I’m never against a signing like this. In fact when we made the Strome deal , my initial thought was we could basically recoup the 7th with an NCAA signing.
Maybe he becomes the next Spencer Foo, but maybe he becomes the next Garnet Hathaway
