Gaelen now has 3 goals 4 assists and is a +7 in 7 games. WTF is this kid? haha.
I guess he is an over ager this year. Got skipped in his original draft year. Hopefully he can carry over his WHL success to a solid start in the AHL next year. Pretty solid kid, 6 feet 205 pounds.

I already posted it once, but he is a late birthday which in pro hockey is actually a pretty big deal (start to see the drop off in players pro-chances after FEB birthdays even....)
So he is only half a year older than most in his second draft-eligible year. Not as bad as it sounds at first, lots of players get passed over at that age at that high of a level when they have 6months less development and growth.
Hopefully he keeps catching up though....
