Johnny_rudeboy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Is he going to be on the bulldogs? No I believe he is heading to the NCAA. Here is an article on him.

Charon1 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 We drafted another kid from Minnesota and the US NTDP! Sounds like Timmins and Gainey like the program they have there. Kristo sounds like the typical forward that Gainey wants to draft. He has excellent skating ability, skills with the puck, and he has some tenacity to his game. Sounds like a few other players in the lineup, no? Gainey wants the Habs to play a fast paced brand of hockey. That sounds like Kristo's bread and butter. It's a good fit. I really hope to see him at the World juniors! Anybody think he'll make the team? He'll only be 18... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiralman Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Common theme with all our pucks... they can SKATE!!!! We will continue to have a fast team. Definitely a Gainey type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenderjetta Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I like this pick-up a lot. He's not a big guy but it sounds like he's fast, creative, and strong. We have quite a talented team and good organizational depth so we can afford to wait for him. I like this quote from canadiens.com -"I have a year of high school still to go and now that I’m headed to Montreal, I'll make sure to take a little extra French classes starting in the fall!"

Mauro-Biello Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 skates hard, backchecks, fights for the puck in the corners, screens the goalie, knows when to go to the net... he's pretty good alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charon1 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Kristo looks to be a heck of a skater from that video!!! He's got some pretty sleek skills with the puck too, and he shows some grit when he's working in the corners and in front of the net. He does a lot of was backchecking in that video too. He seems to have a good sense of when to start backchecking, and when to keep attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who will be the better player Max Paccriotty or Kristo? you're really already comparing him to patches? Is kristo really that good? Wow. I haven't read up much on him but i doubt he's already touted as highly as paccioretty, or he would have been taken much sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
