:O *jaw drops*
Wow... just wow.... Now THAT is a true Small Forward!
I wish i could afford a player like this, how much do you think he is worth, my guess would be $10-15M?

Oh and to answer your question

Who's the best player in Canada in your opinion?
Is there any hope that a Canadian would look this good one day?


I would hope that someone would train a Canadian player to these skills, as long as i don't have to play against him ;)
As far as the best player in Canada, I do not know much but i remember seeing Paul Wendon's skills once and they were pretty great and well balanced. I think he was at prominent or prolific in nearly everything.

And I thought Wendon was the best SF in the world. But yes, in terms of a truly balanced player, my vote goes with Wendon as best Canadian.

I actually stand corrected on this one. From what I have learned about the new engine recently, this guy does not have enough passing to cut it in an inside offense. Although, that would be easy enough to train, especially given his potential...

In any case, unless the engine is changed, I think prolific handling/passing will be the minimum for elite SFs into the future. And I think we will start to see more PGs used at the SF position, especially when running an inside offense (just look at the Canada's U21 game last night and see what Joseph Ka did).

This has been my theory concerning the SF spot for the last little while, I just don't have the personnel to actually do it.

I am getting to the point where I will have just such a SF, just give me until the end of next season.

What do you believe the passing has to be at for a good U21 power foward?

My personal opinion: I would want average or better but depending on skills I might settle for inept-mediocre.

To comment specifically on your guy Luc Boulanger. He only has allstar potential which means if you gave him balanced training on his inside skills, he would cap out at around tremendous IS/ID/RB. I'm sure there will be others with higher potential who will have this (or close) by the start of their 21st season and will be able to continue training. The way to get him on the team is to give him great secondary skills (I am a big fan of JS and OD on PFs, but also like handling and passing).
