WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: "Winningest goalie in U.S. college hockey history must work on patience, but is solid NHL prospect." (Mike Heika, The Hockey News Future Watch 1998) "Turco, 23, could be ready to step up to the NHL soon. In his first season of International League play following a stellar college career, he has impressed scouts with his cool calm and quick reactions. Still, the Stars aren't about to put any undue pressure on him. "Let's keep this in perspective," [Dallas d irector of player personnel Craig] Button said. "He was playing 40 games a year in college. He still needs to learn how to function in a pro system."" (Mike Heika, The Hockey News Future Watch 1999) "A great collegiate netminder at Michigan, where he was 127-28-7 lifetime, Turco took part in the IHL's all-star game last season. Just needs a little more seasoning. Small in stature, but big in heart, Turco's known for his reflexes and good positioning." (The Sports Forecaster 1999-2000, p. 201) | |
