is Stankoven a faster jason robertson version? The way they hold their sticks with their hands more separated than most and pass the puck with casual effort. I think all the time when watching robo, that pass was so slow but so accurate in tight places, and Stank does the same thing.
Good catch. Stankoven doesn't have Robo's shot (in fact, in proportion to everything else I think it's the weakest part of his game), but you're right about his hand posture and the way it puts mustard on his passing. Stankoven wasn't a full fledged playmaker at first. It wasn't until this year that he went nuts, so it'll interesting to see if that part of his game keeps developing, or if the NHL pace neutralizes some of it. He does so much with his legs, you sometimes want him to stop moving.
