The Daily Hoser

Now I regret to say that I didn’t have my eye on this kid before because holy shit balls. This LJ Mooney kid, from just the small sample size I got from the prospects scrimmage, has shown me that he truly has the potential to be a top 6 guy at some point. At the age of 18, he already has insane skills in terms of being physical, making plays, and puck handling. For being only 5’7″ – 157 lbs, this kid knows how to throw his weight around. He didn’t give a single fuck about getting into collisions with guys way bigger than himself. He was finishing everything and making sure to let the bigger guys know that he ain’t fucking around. Little John also pulled off an insane shootout goal. He looked like Kucherov. Almost shit my pants. I am not saying plan the parade or anything, but I do think that most people can agree that if Mooney was at least 4 inches taller, then he would’ve gone top 5 in the draft. He’s got to have the most elite skill set out of most of that draft. This guy is going to prove that the smaller guys have a lot of shit that they can showcase and prove. Like holy shit guys, I think the Habs just snagged a very Caufield/Hutson-esque type player and if things keep improving and working out, then it’s just a matter of time before the boys in Montreal raise that cup. If I were to guess, then I would see them coming out on top after a grueling, grindy push in the year 2029. Book it.
