Alex Henery = Wayne Gretzky

A lot of you may not like hockey as a sport, but you can't deny that it is one. And Wayne Gretsky was the best.

Coming out of OMJHL it wasn't Wayne's skating skills that had WHA scouts salivating. It was his scoring, as well as his Hockey ready name that made him the player he is today.

Alex is no M. Vick or Locker for that matter when it comes down to speed, and us Hen Huggers aren't trying to dispute that, but what the haters don't get is that it's not about how fast he is. It's more about how fast he can kick you in the nuts. He's fast and elusive enough to out run any Defensive Lineman, and yet he is a Kicker, so if a defender pisses him off he can kick him in the nuts with ease.

In conclusion - Gretzky may not have the best jumper in the game, but nobody jumps in hockey, they score. Same with Alex, he may not be the most accurate QB out there, but who cares, Kickers always lead the league in scoring anyways. Just like Gretzky.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
