Florida Panthers development camp kicked off today and
their general manager said what most of us are well aware of – Jonathan
Huberdeau has nothing left to prove at the junior hockey level.
“Two or three of our kids will be in the lineup –
Huberdeau can score,'' Panthers general manager Dale Tallon told the media, via the Miami Herald.
“Now is the time to get him to the next level. We have to
improve his overall strength, timing and get him playing with bigger, stronger
men. If he plays another year in junior, that's really not going to help his
progress.''
Huberdeau’s slim frame is the only thing holding him
back. He certainly has the skill to be at the NHL level and probably could have
played with Florida last year if he was bigger. He’d put up unlimited points if
he was returned to the Sea Dogs this year and that isn’t going to do much for
his development.
Huberdeau spoke to the media as well. Video via George
Richards of the Herald.
Panthers camp continues tomorrow morning.
