        That is a good evaluation of Ethan Philpott. The only thing he
can do is be a physical presence. He will hit everything in sight, but
often takes many dumb penalties. I find it hard to believe that the
Sabres took him in the second round. The only prayer he has of playing in
the NHL is if he takes on the goon role. He would have to be a player
like Kelly Chase who's main job is to start fight when things aren't
going well for the team.
