Reminds me of a Gab Kaplan joke.
He goes up to his father, “Ling Chow, am I adopted”

Does he have a glass eye? Does he sing? I am thinking the Sammy Davis Junior on skates here...

Spitfires ping. I saw this guy play for the Spits. He is good.

The Ducks could use him. A “project player” though

Too small, questionable dedication, lack of discipline? I suggest that the only way this gentleman will see the inside of an NHL arena is if he buys a ticket.

A little small but that can be fixed as he grows up.

Brian Gibbons from the Penguins shows it can work.

One scout reported that he was one of the most selfish players he’s seen. If that’s true, that coupled with his (lack of) size, makes your prediction very likely.

Well if he doesn’t make it in the NHL, maybe he can start a Jamaican hockey team.
