holy poop...talk about a throwback, i was 5 years old in 1999

This is the original scouting report on Radko Gudas :
Scouting Comments:
"Ultra competitive wiener to play against." -Red Line Report
Strengths:
An older prospect who turned 20 in June, Gudas has earned a reputation as one of the biggest hitters in this draft class. He competes hard, and despite his small frame he loves to take the body. Red Line rates Gudas the third biggest pest in this draft class and compares his demeanor to that of a pit bull. Was named a Western Conference Second Team All-Star this season, partly because he also has the ability to move the puck resonably well and he has decent mobility.
Weaknesses:
Stickhandling is considered poor and his decision-making with the puck needs refinement. Because he's two years older than most of the prospects in this draft, what you see is what you get, to an extent. He's not going to get much bigger than his current size, although his tenacity compensates for his stature.
Projection:
Because of his age, the Lightning could sign him immediately and send him to Norfolk of the AHL. He's got a lot of experience, having played 14 games for Kladno in the Czech Extraliga two years ago and 65 games in the Czech second tier league with Beroun between 2006 and 2009. He also was a training camp invitee of the Kings last Fall, so he won't be entering his first NHL training camp. With one or two seasons of refinement, he could make it to the NHL as an energetic third pairing blueliner and world class pest.

True but I'd also love to see what they said about someone like Zetterburg a seventh round pick. They definitely got the pest part right though. Opinions are like assh*les everyone has one except women who have two , one they send to work. Sorry ladies couldn't resist.

Pretty solid entertainment not gonna lie

Without Stamkos, Ben Bishop is our Only hope. Our success rest on his shoulders. With him we have a chance, without him.... We're the Panthers
- Artyukhin76

I don't think we are as bad as people think we are without stamkos! sure would I love to have stamkos back yes I would! but with Ben Bishop in net! and a lot of solid players killorn, Purcell, Connolly, Val, St.Louis, Malone, Panik, Johnson and Palat. I don't think we will have issues scoring as many experts think we will. Are we going to be the top team in the east no but playoffs yes I think we will make it in.

Mike Cammalleri does yzerman call about maybe getting him in a trade ?

i doubt it. we have too many young forwards coming up already. what do we do if we acquire him? next year we have to make room for kucherov, drouin, and possibly namestikov already!

once stamkos returns however, a very unhappy player forward who has earned his spot will be scratched.. i just dont see it
