HF Comments: Look at his size. NHL scouts are drooling over his size and ability to
score goals. Far from flashy, this hulk can pound his way to the net
and can dominate the boards. His only problem is that he does not do it
enough. He is widely criticized for his lack of physical play. I
compare him to John LeClair. He doesn't fight much but if he can
acquire some added presence in front of the net, he can be a 50-goal
scorer in the NHL. He was also voted the second fastest skater in the
Eastern Conference coaches poll. The first team that wants a Canadian
power forward with size will draft him. I think he mat crack the top
10. He will get some consideration for the World Junior Championships
next year. He scored the OT winner for Team Ontario in the finals of
the World under-17 Tournament last year.
