Riley Shean is built

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Well needless to say, the wings prospect I'm hoping hits his potential the most is Riley Sheahan.

After his secon dhalf last season I'm very excited to see what he does this year, with his potential selke like defense and his second half offensive production, over the course of a full season I could see him becoming our second or third best prospect.

On top of all that he is a big hitter and has said he is willing to fight with a 6'2 200+ pound frame. I cant wait to see a guy like that in the wings top 6 again (sheahan sounds pretty similar to shanahan ;) )

So anyways I was looking around online and I never realized this but Sheahan is pretty damn built.

He finishes in the top 10 against other his age in quite a few different categories like 4th in bench press and standing long jump. The NCAA emphasizes hitting the weights more so than the OHL and by the time this kid hits pro hockey he could be built like a brock s*** house and really physically dominating player

Mod feel free to edit his last name in the title, even though the winning puns wont get old

Hahaha... For some reason I'm picturing the perspective of a prisoner if Kim Kardashian just wandered in.

He has to make a significant step in terms of offensive production this year. He just has to, fair or unfair.

Haha yeah post came across a littl emore fanboyish than I thought, once he makes it maybe ill become Eva like who knows?

But yeah I agree, if he scores at the pace he did second half of last season tha he cements himself as a top prospect. If he doesnt step up, we're looking at a future strong defensively fourth liner who will probably have to start playing tougher to stay in the lineup.

Hopefully that team canada cut woke him up on the goal scoring front, Notre Dame is a favourite to win it all this year so he has a chance for a big year

Sheahan is huge, and he skates well. His best asset is how defensively responsible he is, I saw him a few times last season and he completely shut down the oppositions top line. There is definitely offensive potential in there, he goes to the traffic areas and has good hands, but I think his offence won't come around for a while. I think at worst he centres the 4th line one day, best case he's our 2nd line centre, although with Jarnkrok arriving shortly, maybe 3rd line centre will be his niche.

Did you happen to see a face?

That might help. Or hair or eye colour. I don't blame you if you didn't.
