Lardis has a huge challenge of transitioning to AHL and its physicality. He has not done well in physical games like vs London for example and will have a bullseye on his back for that reason until he overcomes it. Many skilled guys do not overcome it though hence why he’s further down the list given his stats vs OHL boys or labeled a “wild card”.
I will say I’m a bit surprised to see Korchinski so high on the prospect rankings. He’s not really moved the needle and should be relegated back to Rockford again this season along with Arty.
