- SHGFLA - 03-16-2016 ![]() Patriks is 19 years old and is playing his first full season across seas. "I have more opportunity [in Canada] than back home," said Porzingis. "It was [an] easy move for me." "Patriks Porzingis is a two-way, all-around defenseman with very strong skating ability. The big body moves like a much smaller one and with a fluid, effortless stride. He can log a lot of ice time and never break down with injuries. Unfortunately, Porzingis never has played a physical or aggressive game, despite having the size to potentially dominate in that area." (Scouting report courtesy of Eastern European Elite Ice Hockey Scouting) Raiders GM, vbottasnoods, announced the terms of the contract as 1-year, $2 million. While he was not selected in the SHL Draft, Porzingis' resilient work-ethic will aid him as he continues to develop his young career. - vbottas17 - 03-16-2016 Wow, looks like we may have uncovered a diamond here! ![]() - linsangeles - 03-16-2016 Gratz with the deal.
