from Emily Kaplan of ESPN,

After taking verbal shots at New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and about half the NFL's quarterbacks this summer, Ramsey told ESPN that he's so confident in his athleticism that he could likely make an NHL roster in six months if he trained.

"I think it's insulting to our league," Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel told ESPN. "For us as players, we've dedicated our lives to be playing in the NHL. To think after six months you could come play arguably one of the hardest sports in the world? I mean, I think it's ridiculous he would say that. It's ignorant."...

NHL players pointed to one key fact in Ramsey's argument.

"He's said he's never skated before," Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin said. "So there's no chance."

Said Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones: "You can't even learn to skate in six months."
