TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — When you ask former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Guy Lapointe about a defensive prospect and his face lights up, you know you’ve touched on something special. In this case, it’s Minnesota defenseman Tyler Cuma, the Wild’s first-round pick from 2008. “What you n boston bruinsnotice about the kid right away is that he plays with a ton of poise. wholesale nhl jerseysHe has a great sense for the game and a willingness to compete,” said Lapointe, now the amateur scouting coordinator for the Wild. “To me, when you see a veteran coach like Jacques Lemaire keep a youngster like that to the final cuts with the Wild when he’s just 18, that just tells you that Tyler is something special.” For Cuma, a 6-foot 2, 189-pound defenseman from Toronto via the Ottawa 67s of the Ontario Hockey League, it was almost l boston bruinsveteran coach like Jacques Lemaire keep a youngster like that to the final cuts with the Wild when he’s just 18, that just tells you that Tyler is something special.” For Cuma, a 6-foot 2, 189-pound defenseman from Toronto via the Ottawa 67s of the Ontario Hockey League, it was almost like he was in a “Twilight Zone” episode when you consider how few teen-agers make that huge jump from junior hockey to the NHL. “I thought it was just a courtesy.
