I remember watching him in Junior with the Giants. In games against the Hitmen he stood out as a typical Sutter guy. He looked like he could skate pretty well in his draft year. Loved to hit and fight and be a pain in the ass. I was not surprised when the Flames picked him.
He has had conditioning issues since. One reason he was sent back for his overage year. I have not seen him in Abbotsford or Quad City. Hopefully he matures and becomes more dedicated as I think he could be a fourth line agitator in this league. J.D. is actually bigger than Brandon Prust.
