The Subban family boasts a pretty impressive pedigree when it comes to hockey. The eldest brother, P.K. Subban, is obviously the leader of the pack, but Malcolm Subban has been one of the top goaltenders in the AHL over the past few years, and Canucks prospect Jordan Subban was one of the top-scoring defencemen in the AHL last year.

Now there鈥檚 another hockey-playing Subban, but, like Jordan, he鈥檚 a little bit undersized: Legacy-Andre Subban. Fortunately, he鈥檚 got a lot of time to grow, as he鈥檚 just five years old.

Jordan posted a video on Instagram of a little one-on-one session with his nephew, flashing some fancy moves to break his poor nephew鈥檚 ankles. Honestly, I鈥檓 impressed that Legacy stayed on his skates as long as he did; he has pretty good balance on his blades for his age.

I think it鈥檚 safe to say that Legacy won鈥檛 be a defenceman, though. Terrible gap control, doesn鈥檛 take the body, and just lets Jordan walk out front. Better make him a forward.

As for Jordan, he turned 22 this year and is reaching the point where he needs to play some NHL games in the upcoming season. It won鈥檛 be easy: the signing of Michael Del Zotto and Patrick Wiercioch crowds the Canucks blueline and it鈥檚 hard to see him making the lineup out of camp.

Instead, he鈥檒l be battling with the likes of Evan McEneny, Andrey Pedan, Philip Holm, Guillaume Brisebois, and Jalen Chatfield to be the first call-up in case of injury.

The fact that his coach in Utica is now the coach in 麻豆传媒映画may both help and hinder him. Travis Green is aware of all of Subban鈥檚 strengths, but also keenly cognizant of his flaws. At the press conference after he was hired, Green said in reference to Subban, 鈥淭here鈥檚 a reason guys are in the AHL, because usually they鈥檙e not ready to play in the NHL.鈥�

It鈥檚 tough to see someone with Subban鈥檚 skill languish in the minors, however, and fans are eager to see him play at least one NHL game in the coming year. Frankly, he deserves the chance, particularly on a rebuilding team that can afford to take a few risks with putting young players in the lineup.
